SYRACUSE -- Syracuse's lawyer is leaving her job.
Mayor Stephanie Miner announced today Corporation Counsel Juanita Perez Williams is resigning from her position.
"In accepting Juanita's resignation, I want to acknowledge her service to the City during the first 18 months of my administration," Mayor Miner said. "She has been a key member of our team in many areas and I wish her the best as she pursues any number of career options currently available to her."
