Mayor Eric Adams's feud with the City Council took a petty turn when his aides attempted to remove chairs from a news conference critical of him at City Hall, plunging the proceedings into partial darkness by keeping the lights off. This incident is part of a pattern of the mayor's administration restricting press access and attempting to control the narrative, leading to criticism from elected officials and former aides. The City Council and the mayor's office are at odds over issues such as criminal justice bills and police transparency, with tensions escalating over control of the rotunda area in City Hall.
