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, 2020The 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.
