Former Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife have racked up $2.5 million in debt, but that isn’t stopping them from living large at a pricey, four-star Brooklyn hotel.
After leaving office four months ago, de Blasio and Chirlane McCray made a beeline from Gracie Mansion to the swanky New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge — where suites run from about $600 to $5,000 a night — and have been staying there ever since while their home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, undergoes renovations, according to hotel staffers and other sources.

However, one staffer said, “He’s too frugal, and that’s a nice way of putting it.”
When asked if hotel fees were waived or dramatically reduced for the former mayor, a de Blasio spokesman declined comment, and a spokeswoman for Muss Development insisted the hotel’s ownership “is not involved with specific guests’ accommodations.” The hotel’s management declined comment.
While de Blasio is eligible to collect a six-figure pension for his two decades of public service and also receives rental income on two Brooklyn homes he and his wife own, the Post reported last October that de Blasio had dug himself into a deep financial hole after taking out a second mortgage totaling $615,342 on one of the homes.
His $2.5 million in debt also includes $300,000 in legal bills run up five years ago by lawyers who defended de Blasio in a probe of his fundraising activities, and another $200,000-plus from long-dormant campaign accounts that owe money.
De Blasio has also yet to reimburse taxpayers nearly $320,000 that the city’s Department of Investigation determined he owes for misusing his NYPD security detail while mayor.

the former mayor’s living arrangements raises questions of a possible “quid pro quo” considering Muss Development’s lucrative city contracts.

If AG Letitia wants someone to prosecute, look here.
He can run for POTUS in 2024 and pull in some serious cash.
Didn’t his wife squander almost $1 billion?
From what I’ve read, it was funneled to teacher’s union.
That’s pretty damn sweet for never having anything other than government employment and never building anything.
GRIFTERS.....LOW CLASS GRIFTERS!
“where suites run from about $600 to $5,000 a night”
You are a urinalist!
How much does he pay? $600 or $5,000 or something in the middle or does he pay NOTHING?
DO YOU JOB!
Of course his wife has $8 million from the city that she never used for the mentally ill. I bet she found it in a suitcase when they left. She probably thought she may as well keep it.
Not being too down in the gutter, but I imagine some other ‘love’ interests have stories on the fab former Mayor....and fit, fab, gorgeous ‘wife’. But, that is just me.
There’s a reason he could only work for the government. He’s so stupid he can’t even wear his ineffective mask right-side-up.
Ha ha good catch!
Please do not post pics of his wife. I will shut down this Internet if you do.
But how much is DeBlasio actually paying Marriot????
Given the number of WOKE corporations these days, my guess is that he is paying zero dollars to stay there.
Mask wearing putz
Wrong....$800.000.000. that’s millions.
Where’s the $850 million he gave his wife that’s never been accounted for?
It’s inside out and upside down. Typical leftist moron.
Please do not post pics of his wife. I will shut down this Internet if you do.
