BDB used personal email for city business


From CBS 2:

A city document indicated that Mayor Bill de Blasio and four of his aides used personal email accounts for city business, sources said late Tuesday.

Sources told CBS2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer about the use of the personal email accounts, which the New York Times also reported on Tuesday night.

The Department of Investigation discovered the use of the accounts while investigating the mayor’s campaign fundraising last year, sources said.

De Blasio was not charged criminally in connection with the campaign fundraising but, the U.S. Attorney’s office said the mayor intervened on behalf of donors seeking political favors, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office said the way the mayor raised money violated the “spirit” of the law.

The mayor used his personal email address at least 1,850 times for conducting city business, sources said. The actions could be in violation of some city guidelines, sources said.

Wanna bet most of the emails happened during his "workouts" in the Park Slope Y

BUT HIS EMAILS!

Bloomberg did the same thing - all of his senior staff was on 'bloomberg.net' email addresses so they they could plot off-the-record. Politicians have been doing this since the days of usenet.

No Prob. A lawyer told them it was OK, and there was no intent. Therefore not guilty.

Now look over there!!! That statue may be offensive!!

He is so entrenched in corruption, graft and monstrous elitism and entitlement, neither of which he has ever earned, much less deserved, that it is now dangerous to live in this filthy, politically polluted raw sewage plant known as New York City right now, more than ever before!

There IS no social contract with ANY city agency, because they are willfully ignoring the multitude of social ills that now force people to act with lawlessness and vigilantism, both of which is fast crossing over into full blown anarchy in the streets, which only continues to worsen by the hour! And, the public be damned (again and STILL)!

Can you use your home phone for city business? This has become absurd because all the lawyers have nothing better to do. They are no different than the goons who say you need to only use candles and not light bulbs in the synagogue
