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
Randy Mastro, the lawyer representing New Jersey in its congestion pricing suit, is expected to be named the city’s Corporation Counsel by Mayor Eric Adams.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.
In its statement, the caucus — co-chaired by City Council Members Tiffany Cabán and Erik Bottcher — said that appointing Mastro as corporation counsel would mark a return to the conservative Giuliani administration, where he served as both chief of staff and a deputy mayor. “Corporation Counsel is the people’s lawyer, not the mayor’s, and the people are staunchly against returning to the Giuliani era,” they said. “The City Council’s LGBTQIA+ Caucus opposes Randy Mastro’s nomination to this vital position.”
“Even beyond Mr. Mastro’s troubling history of representing clients that directly contradict the values and principles we uphold as a City Council committed to equality, justice, and inclusivity, his dirty, underhanded tactics disqualify him from a position which calls for someone of the utmost honor and integrity,” they said.
