Attorney Randy Mastro has dropped his bid for his "dream job" as the city's Corporation Counsel, recognizing that the petty bigots who dominate the City Council were going to vote him down.
They'd already made up their minds for reasons unrelated to the merits, Mastro wrote Mayor Eric Adams. That was obvious from the moment Adams floated Mastro's name for the city's top attorney.
Councilman Bob Holden (D-Queens) aptly summed the hearing up as "a politically motivated inquisition." New Yorkers have a right to expect more from their elected officials.
The City Council is out of control; until it's reined in by the voters and/or drastic reform of the City Charter, it'll keep making municipal government ever more dysfunctional - and New York City ever less livable.
