Mayor de Blasio's wife is branded 'a disgrace' for having a staff of 14 - including a $70,000 videographer who filmed her BAKING COOKIES - while crime soars after $1bn NYPD cuts and trash piles up on streets amid 22,000 threatened job cuts

Bill de Blasio's unelected wife has been branded a 'disgrace' for having a staff of 14 costing New York City $2 million, including a $70,000 videographer who filmed her baking cookies - while crime soars amid NYPD budget cuts, trash is left to pile up on the streets and 22,000 city workers face job losses.

Chirlane McCray, who is mulling a run for Brooklyn borough president, enjoys a core team of eight full-time staff who cost the city a combined $1.1 million in annual salaries, according to her office.

Sources at the Mayor's Office told The City the mayor's wife also has at least another six staff who do not feature on the official roster, taking her total workforce to 14 with a hefty price tag of $2 million.

While the mayor's wife has a considerable team - despite not being officially employed by the city government - her husband has sounded repeated warnings that a staggering 22,000 workers could lose their jobs in the fall due to the toll the pandemic has taken on the city's budget.

This comes after de Blasio has already axed $1 billion from the NYPD budget amid a surge in crime and made cuts to essential public services.

Maybe she can get together with Pelosi and her ice cream

All of this is truly sickening and heartbreaking. Seriously, I am literally sick to my stomach. Sometimes all of this craziness is too much. I need to get some sleep tonight and recharge. What will we find out next? That de Blasio and his wife have a 20,000 square foot dacha paid for out of NYC public funds?

on the official public roster. Her total workforce numbers 14 with a hefty price tag of $2 million.

McRay's pricey team includes $150,000-a-year senior adviser Dabash Negash (pictured) recruited in April
- at the height of the pandemic, just one week after de Blasio announced a hiring freeze to help close a $7.4 billion budget deficit.

With this “let them eat cake” attitude, maybe she’s Big Mike’s long-lost sister.

I could tell from the headline that this was going to be a foreign news source. No way would US big media publish this

[Bigg Red]

Well played!

Good one.

This pair needs the Ceausescu treatment or the Mussolini treatment.

OMG. Marijuana cookies being served while the (formerly great) City of New York burns down all around Comrade McCray-de Blasio.

[dp0622]

It’s odd.

I’ve lost any and all concern for nyc.

I live on Staten Island but I got no ties holding me here anymore.

If it starts to hit my area I’ll just go.

I was lucky enough to REALLY ENJOY the city under Rudy.

Best years of my life.

I’m good with the whole place going straight to hell

Agreed, FRiend. These two are the most despicable couple in America! Or would that still be Bill and Hillary? Hussein and Moochelle??

So many 'RATs to choose from.... It's difficult to decide.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

DeCommieo’s wife is more of a psychopathic hardcore communist than he is. He’s more Al Sharpton fraud and successful at it, than he is a communist, though he tries hard.

Both are crooked as Bill Clinton’s willie and should have been in jail years ago.

Amen.
