De Blasio Fought for 2 Years to Keep Ethics Warning Secret. Here’s Why.

De Blasio Fought for 2 Years to Keep Ethics Warning Secret. Here’s Why.​

Mayor Bill de Blasio was warned that he created an “appearance of coercion and improper access” by directly contacting donors who had business before the city.

When Bill de Blasio was first elected mayor of New York, he called two powerful real estate developers who had active projects in the city, and asked them to donate money to a nonprofit organization that he had created to advance his political agenda.

The request to help his nonprofit, the Campaign for One New York, violated the city’s ethics law, and a ban against asking for contributions from people who had business pending with the city. Within months of his solicitations, Mr. de Blasio was formally warned by the city’s Conflict of Interest Board — in a previously undisclosed letter — not to repeat the behavior.

But even after that warning, the mayor continued to hit up well-connected donors for money, according to documents that the city recently released after years of an extraordinary legal campaign by the de Blasio administration to keep the documents secret.

In February 2015, the mayor made a call to Jeffrey Levine, chairman of Douglaston Development, which had just won city approval for $12 million in financing for an affordable housing complex, and was given a parcel of city-owned land in the Bronx.

MOSCOW, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Moscow said on Thursday that the logic of the escalating tensions between Russia and the United States over Ukraine risked a repeat of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, the Interfax news agency reported.

"You know, it really could come to that," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying. "If things continue as they are, it is entirely possible by the logic of events to suddenly wake up and see yourself in something similar."

He was referring to the 1962 standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

The comment comes amid concerns in the West over a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine. Moscow has expressed alarm at Ukraine's closer ties with NATO and also accused Kyiv of a troop buildup. (Reporting by Andrey Ostroukh; writing by Tom Balmforth; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

Finally. Someone did something.
After all of these incidents, of which probably 90% if them are students shooting students, it's about time. I'm always dismayed after one of these incidents & they are interviewing students the comment is always heard "If anyone was going to do this it was going to be him". We always thouyght he was a bitt off. Finally someone picked up the phone & called on "him".

Bob Doles last jab at the cheats.




"As I make the final walk on my life’s journey, I do so without fear. Because I know that I will, again, not be walking alone," Dole said in a farewell letter that was read by his daughter Robin at his funeral in Washington, D.C. on Friday. "I know that God will be walking with me," the late senator wrote. "I also confess that I’m a bit curious to learn and find if I am correct in thinking that heaven will look a lot like Kansas and to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago."
