Pay Raises for His Staff to Keep Them From Walking? Keep Them Quiet?
De Blasio helps cronies but slashes pay for Bloomberg hires (NYP) *
Why City Hall staffers are getting big pay raises (NYP) The Mayor’s Office essentially admits the problem: The payouts are needed to “retain skilled staff,” it argues. But maybe the sums wouldn’t need to be as much if staffers better liked working for this administration.Start with the fact that Hizzoner is facing as many as seven different investigations into his team’s actions, including the Rivington nursing-home flap and his fund-raising for state Senate races. Then there are the reports of the mayor humiliating and upbraiding staffers at meetings and in “teachable moments.” And, of course, his ailing poll numbers and the (well-deserved) criticism of his mayoralty from so many voices (like ours). Refugees include Deputy Mayor Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, Press Secretary Karen Hinton and his short-lived social-media director. Environmental Commissioner Emily Lloyd, Sustainability Director Nilda Mesa and counsel Maya Wiley also gave notice.

$100K donation to CONY #CarriageGate 12. Neu and Nislick donated hundreds of thousands of dollars
to NYCLASS PAC that destroyed Quinns mayoral campaign Anti-horse-carriage
lobbyists Steve Nislick and Wendy Neu have donated $125,000 combined to de
Blasio’s nonprofit CONY — which doesn’t fall under campaign-finance law
restrictions — and landed three meetings with Hizzoner through August. The
huddles included a March 2 meeting that occurred three days after the lobbyists
gave the nonprofit $50,000 each.
13. The Advance Group Scott Levinson ran the NYCLASS PAC.
Levinson took a Job with Nislick company Edison Parking 6 days after de Blasio
was elected as mayor 14. The leaders
Berlin Rosen state off working for AG Schneiderman and have worked as political
consultants for all of his recent campaigns These public affairs firms, such as
BerlinRosen, are not obligated to register as lobbyists — even though critics
say they could be perceived as doing lobbying work because they have clients
with business before City Hall while also having easy access to deBlasio. BerlinRosen,
for instance, has overseen communications strategies for One New York,
while also counting real estate developers — Forest City Ratner Companies, SL
Green Realty and Two Trees Management — among its clients. Two Trees
Management, the developer behind the Domino Sugar redevelopment
project, donated $100,000 to One New York
15. Red Horse works for the Campaign for One NY 16. Red Horse Works for the follow DAs Brooklyn, Bronx,

Blasio’s treasurer.
20. Lobbyists James Capalino is a target of an federal investigation of the sale of Riverington
Nursing Home that had its deed changes by City Hall. Capalino – who records
show had at least two other private meetings with the mayor through May of last
year – led all city lobbyists in 2014, collecting $8.2 million in client fees.
City records for the first nine months of last year show he’s on pace to topple
that number, amassing nearly $8.3 million in fees — or nearly double the $4.6
million his firm amassed all of 2013 during the last year of the Bloomberg
administration. His dozens of new clients include Uber, which wants to avoid
further city-imposed regulations as it competes with the yellow-cab industry. It
paid Capalino $150,000 the past two years to push its agenda.
21. Capalino’s firm gave de Blasio’s nonprofit Campaign for One
New York $10,000 in May — and the next day was granted face-time with the mayor
at City Hall to discuss a City Council bill to eliminate chopper tours at the

a nursing home into luxury condos. Since October lobbyist James Capalino has
collected $40,000 in checks for de Blasio's 2017 re-election bid and personally
wrote a $10,000 check in May to Campaign for One New York, the non-profit de
Blasio uses to promote his causes. 22. Allure's Landau Contributed $5000 to de Blasio's 2013

to the Campaign for One New York, the non-profit that’s raised more than $4.3
million to back de Blasio’s agenda.” 24 Capalino clients Two Trees, Toll Brothers, Asphalt Green,
Brookfield Properties and Douglaston Development also contributed to the

about his political connections, attended the Gracie Gala Dinner, a

Davidoff, another longtime de Blasio pal and fundraiser, got a face-to-face
meeting with deBlasio in September 2014 to discuss his client, Hunts Point
Terminal Market. Six months later, the mayor announced plans for a $150 million
infrastructure upgrade there. Besides seeing his company’s City Hall work jump
from $2.1 million during the last two years of the Bloomberg administration to
$4.2 million 1 ¾ years into the de Blasio administration, Davidoff scored
another private business session last May with de Blasio to discuss a “civil
rights museum,” records show. He even convinced Hizzoner in April 2014 to
perform his first City Hall wedding and marry him and his bride, Daily News
columnist Linda Stasi \
30. On Jan.11, de Blasio’s longtime mentor, Ickes, helped
client AEG Live score
a controversial permit to host a Coachella-style major music festival on
Randall’s Island — on the same day he bundled
$13,000 in donations for the mayor’s re-election campaign. Besides AEG
Live, which shelled out $150,000 in fees, Ickes’ other clients include
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181-1061, which spent $42,000 before Ickes
delivered $42 million in taxpayer funds to boost private bus driver salaries. 31 Teachers

In 2009 Berlin Rosen worked for several candidates that got campaign
help from Data and Field that the CFB ruled was a illegal campaign arm of the
WFP not a private company. de Blasio
also got funded by Data and Field.
