From CBS:
Mayor Bill de Blasio has outside political consultants who have been paid upwards of $2 million during his first 18 months in office.
The bill though, is not paid by taxpayers. Instead, nonprofit Campaign For One New York is footing the bill, WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported.
Its donors include real estate developers and union leaders, and there are no contribution limits, according to Citizen Union Executive Dick Dadey.
Dadey said that the practice is legal because there have been no laws passed to define what he called ‘a very serious conflict of interest.’

As I said in my other post:
The comrade has learned from the best!
Can you say "Clinton Foundation "???
"have not and will never lobby on behalf of clients" ...That's a scream, no wonder the Mayor won't take unapproved questions.
Why is this a surprise to anyone? The hypocrisy of left-wing limousine liberal democrats is well documented. Any bets on which investment banks his son will intern at the next few summers, before accepting a 7-figure job upon graduation from Yale?
You can also say Citizens United.
their defense claiming no conflict of interest is akin to Johnnie Cochran's "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit"
So plausible deniability is the way do things now.
Holy Crap!
These are the guys actually running the NYC, calling agencies to assign development projects to get through the city government, funding the waterfront advocacy and bike nut groups. The 'whole shebang.'
I would guess the big money guys pulled poor 'ol Bill' aside when it became quickly apparent within days that he has no idea what to do, and suggested its ok to apply himself to do street renamings, posing at street repair projects shovel in hand, and discussing his family's social issues - while they 'help' him with a bunch of 'experts' to 'actually get things done.'
And like the typical hack whose mind has atrophied in the warm cocoon of the 'system' he is more than happy to go along.

Well put.
We need to pass laws that say anyone who criticizes an elected democrat can fasee 2 years in prision,with all the drug dealers obama turned lose there are plenty of empty cells,
You can still bash republicans,that's ok,just not socialist demacrats
Got your mind Right now boy.

No controlling legal authority
-Al Gore
Anon no. 8: What is it like to fasee 2 years in prison? Didn't the Supreme Court say that it was unconstitutional to fasee someone?
Surprise! DeBlasio is getting real estate money!
Two faced Duh Blah-Blah. Is anyone surprised here?
CONSERVATIVE OR PROGRESSIVE, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.. THERE IS NO MORE LOYALTY TO IDEALS AND VALUES...
Not a smidgeon of corruption.
The Comrade gets $225,000 a year from us lowly subjects to tour the world for free.
He has two kids and a very high maintenance wife.
Wouldn't you expect him to subsidize his meager salary?
I commend him for balancing his family budget.
If only he could do something positive for the taxpayers...
CMS testified @congessional hearing(Rep.Chris Collins ,N.Y.)that obamacare H.C.Co-op will close down in 2 wks in NYS.155000 nys policy holders will lose coverage under the co-op.in an emergeny act B/C-B/S will insure them for 30 days.$35million lo in 1st yr.
other state co-ops have also shut down because of fraud and lack of enrollment.Vt lost $3 millions of tax$$$$.Ky. lost $50million in the 1st yr.
cms officials laughed after hearing ended,as if to say "did we hoax them"?
'Its donors include real estate developers and union leaders, and there are no contribution limits, according to Citizen Union Executive Dick Dadey.
Dadey said that the practice is legal because there have been no laws passed to define what he called ‘a very serious conflict of interest.’
Developers got subsidies from the state and city with cherry rezoning and the majority of unions have received bloated new contracts from mayor big slow/no show. So they are basically their new money re our tax dollars to donate to this glorified superpac.
So tell me how there is no conflict or graft.
Boss Tweed must be nodding in approval in the bowels of hell.
With this story, Deblasio may be the current embodiment of Faust and this slush fund collective cabal is the Devil
Is comrade John Choe's "One Flushing" connected to "One New York".
Comrade Choe was connected to Nodutol, a Korean commie organization and was shady John Liu's chief of staff when Liu was a council member. Then he got tossed when Liu became comptroller.
Keep an eye on this guy. "One Flushing" and the "Flushing Chamber of Commerce".
He has his hands in both of these pies and executive director of "One Flushing".
We already have a "One New York".
It is owned , operated and maintained by the Real Estate Board of New York.
Find me one politician who does not accept money from real estate developers
and I'll tell you how many angels can dance on the head of a dressmaker's straight pin.
Somebody has got to run Bill's shit.
He's so medicated that he can't wake up in the morning. Excessive tardiness?
Med overdose!
