This last part I love. So in keeping with being the Marxist puke he is:

“The mayor — who vowed a transparent administration — routinely holds secret meetings and keeps events hidden from his public schedule.

This week alone, the mayor failed to disclose a meeting he and wife Chirlane McCray held at City Hall with top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett — until after it was over.

He also barred reporters from a speech he gave in Midtown to the Real Estate Board of New York.

It was only after hearing complaints from the news media that City Hall released a partial audio recording of his remarks.

The administration has barred photographers from a number of meetings, allowing Hizzoner to curate his image by choosing which photos to share with the public — often via Twitter.

As public advocate, de Blasio last year released a 29-page report blasting city agencies for not making information readily available to the public.

The report even called for “proactive disclosure” by the city of the data most frequently requested by citizens and reporters.

“Transparency and responsiveness in government decisions and policies engenders trust in our democratic process,” the April 2013 report says.

Yet de Blasio initially barred reporters from his swearing-in on New Year’s Eve, instead offering solely to Web-cast the historic event.”

Like all of his ilk, he fears assassination, thus all the secrecy along with the security.
