That’s not what happened. A majority voted for secession in 1993, but the state legislature stymied the effort.

Well, I stand corrected.
But the state legislature didn't "stymie" anything. They just ignored it.
All the secession talk ended anyway when Giuliani was elected mayor in 1993 and he shut down the Fresh Kills landfill and eliminated the fare for the Staten Island Ferry.
