I'm shocked - Shocked! - to discover corruption in a political setting! Taxpayers foot bill for de Blasio's trip to SOMOS in Puerto Rico.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has a parting gift for taxpayers: picking up the tab for him, his wife and an entourage of City Hall staffers to hit the annual SOMOS political retreat in Puerto Rico.
The term-limited de Blasio — who is leaving office at year’s end after spending much of his eight years as mayor out of town pushing his progressive agenda — attended the five-day beachside conference running alongside first lady Chirlane McCray and six employees
Don't worry he said. It wasn't a vacation, he said. Which is why it was on a Caribbean island. It was all work, all the time.
This isn't the first time that de Blasio has had the taxpayers pay for non-NYC related expenses.
The Department of Investigation last month released a scathing report outlining how de Blasio had taxpayers foot a nearly $320,000 tab for his security detail while touring the country in 2019 during his failed presidential bid. The agency called on de Blasio to reimburse the city, but he’s yet to comply.
Could it be that a politician is doing underhanded things to line his own pockets and/or cheat the city out of tax money? Does he think he's mayor of Chicago?
