Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano has abused his power to obtain firefighters' private phone records, a lawyer contends.

Ron Kuby, who represents the United Firefighters Association, said the city code mandates that the corporation counsel issue subpoenas for the FDNY through a Supreme Court judge, but that Cassano and an assistant commissioner send out subpoenas themselves.

But a city Law Department spokesman insisted Cassano has the authority to issue subpoenas. "There is oversight through appropriate legal channels," he said.
