De Blasio’s wife spends millions on lavish staff of 14; includes $70k videographer filming her bake cookies, as 22k city jobs face cuts

Jon Dougherty   |   August 19, 2020


The wife of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is being ripped as a “disgrace” over a staff of 14 people including a $70,000-a-year videographer as the NYPD faces $1 billion in budget cuts and tens of thousands of city workers face job losses due to COVID-19-related tax revenue losses.

As trash piles up around the city and crime soars, Chirlane McCray is coming under scrutiny for her extravagance, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday, noting that her staff ‘officially’ costs taxpayers $1.1 million a year and that the videographer once filmed her baking cookies.

Sources within the mayor’s office told The City, however, that McCray, who is considering running for Brooklyn borough president, also has an additional staff of six people who are not listed on official employment rosters, bringing their total salaries to $2 million.

George Orwell wrote a book about this.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

New Yorkers shouldn't complain, they voted for it.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Typical for communists the top class lives large on the backs of the proletariat.
