The relationship between the Corporation Counsel Sylvia Hinds-Radix and City Hall soured as she raised concerns over using the Law Department for the mayor's defense, leading to her resignation.
She was asked to resign but refused, feeling she wanted to 'blow it up.' City Hall later replaced her with Randy Mastro, causing her to resign after being blindsided.
Hinds-Radix faced frustrations from City Hall for opposing issues, including defending the mayor's use of taxpayer funds in a sex assault lawsuit unrelated to his role.
Mayor Adams denied disagreements with Hinds-Radix, who defended the mayor's rights to representation in the lawsuit due to his past employment under the Transit Authority.
