City Council opposition to Adams’ likely corporation counsel nominee Mastro grows

Randy Mastro, Mayor Eric Adams’ presumptive pick to be the city’s next top lawyer, is growing increasingly unpopular with the City Council, as yet another caucus of members came out against him on Friday.

The council’s six-member LGBTQAI+ Caucus joined the far larger Black, Latino and Asian Caucus (BLAC) in opposing Mastro, an alumnus of former GOP Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s administration, as Adams appears likely to nominate him to be the city’s next corporation counsel.
