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.

Ugly ass carpet munching bitch.
How many of her staff are makeup artists,,,,,she needs all the help she can get...........
New Yorkers voted for this vile filth. Forget the cookies; let them eat cake.
Just straight-up wealth redistribution - de facto reparations...
Just straight up thievery by self-made “victims.”
Yup.
A lot of the issues in cities now is that the hosts are fleeing, or if they lived on cash injections from state governments, the states themselves are dying (CA, NY, IL, NJ).
How can these dumps attract new employers? Never mind the mayhem/rioting/murders; there is no skilled workforce left in them, and that in the surrounding areas doesn’t want to enter the war zone.
NYC in particular is screwed because it went from a desirable high-cost place to a deserted ghost town in months; many employers will not be in a hurry to return to those high rents, and employees from NJ and CT aren’t paying income tax to NYC and NYS while working remotely. I say this is as someone from a state (NJ) that had to revise its budget when ONE MAN (our wealthiest resident, David Tepper) moved to FL in 2016; the state was so reliant on his income taxes that his flight left it screwed financially. Multiply this several times over, and you see the problem - and the welfare class knows it.
Get out before the stampede. Where you are going is not getting any cheaper because the flee-ers are driving up housing costs everywhere they are fleeing to.
This is the woman who headed up an organization and stole half a billion dollars from New York ers. The cookies should be her last meal.
Actually I heard that if you are a Remote worker who left a NYC employer when you left the state you still have to pay city tax to NY. And perhaps state taxes too easiest remedy is for the business to move out too.
Many of us do.
They’re both a disgrace... two people who truly deserve each other...
That’s odd - I thought that was why the Yankees had spring training camp in Florida (no state income taxes). Also, when Rush moved from NYC to FL he was supposed to have the same benefit.
Thanks!
Yankees spring training camp is an entitiy of its own. I imagine that there is some sort of subcorperation that it belongs to.
Rush is not a remote worker, he moved his business down to florida.
Best years of my life.
Agreed, and good for you!
We live about 130 miles NE of Grand Central Station. Although I wanted to live in NYC back when I was young, hubby and I did spend a LOT of time in NYC during the Rudy Giuliani glory years, so we at least got a small taste of what you experienced.
I don't see NYC returning to anything close to the Rudy years in my lifetime.
It's sad. There are still many things and places we wanted to see in NYC while we are still living up here in the northeast. The way things stand today, I don't want to step foot in any democRAT-run city for a long, long time. Maybe ever.
Too bad those RAT cities won't be getting our tourist dollars! Tough luck. Eff 'em.
i live on staten island and no longer work in Manhattan so it and the other 3 boroughs can sink for all I care
You’re right screw em!
