| De Blasio ‘doesn’t recall’ $100K donation in alleged pay-to-play scheme |
| 2017-10-30 |
| [NYPOST] Mayor de Blasio astonishingly said Sunday that New Yorkers don’t care whether City Hall is corrupt. If you're ever up on a Murder One charge, just say "I don't recall" and you're off the hook. "There are much more important issues than what these guys [news hounds] are raising," the mayor claimed amid bombshell allegations in court last week that pay-to-play was alive, well ‐ and rampant ‐ at City Hall. Hizzoner insisted that the topic is far from "interesting conversation. "But I’m offering [the press] a chance to ask a few more questions. So just let’s bear with them a few more times, and then the rest of New York City will go back to caring about real things," he told a group gathered at a post-Hurricane Sandy event. De Blasio didn’t deny personally seeking a $102,000 donation from businessman-felon Jona Rechnitz for a pet political project, as the disgraced mayoral donor testified in court Friday. Rechnitz said the mayor’s campaign-finance director Ross Offinger first hit him up for the hefty amount, and when the businessman balked because he was unhappy with not getting special treatment from City Hall for his ventures, de Blasio personally called him and made the plea. |
