Mayor de Blasios patronage mill is churning out junk jobs funded with taxpayer money for longtime pals, campaign grunts and acolytes.
In addition to creating a $150,000 post for Stephanie Yazgi the longtime girlfriend of his top strategist, Emma Wolfe de Blasio has created positions to amp up his progressive agenda and national profile and spread propaganda touting his transcendent accomplishments.
The citys television station led by de Blasio buddy Janet Choi devotes much of its taxpayer-funded $5.7 million budget to broadcasting his ribbon-cuttings, announcements and features about his friends, including his wedding singer.
His $105,000 digital director, Jessica Singleton, shapes his social-media image while his $69,000 media analyst, Mahen Gunaratna, measures the influence of his messages.
But the bulk of his buddies land jobs at City Hall in the mayors Community Affairs Unit.

Who would have thought ... that a Sandinista Marxist Leninist Che Guevara Communist libtard would pad the payroll with a gang of like-minded thieves who could never get a job in the private sector?
Of course he is. That’s what pols do.
Typical ‘Rat
No surprise.
Or should I say I am SHOCKED!
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
Isn’t that how it is supposed to work in banana republics?
It will take at least two generations to restore our Republic. Probably two, three times that for places like New York City.
Communists: It’s what they do.
Czars.
Typical leftie. Hope NY’ers are happy with Hizzoner.
Blobbio gave his wife control of the fund---what's she doing w/ the money? The Blobbio's and the Clintons are best friends. Did The Clinton Foundation get a donation from The Mayor's Fund? Did All Sharpton's "charity" get a chunk?
THE BLOB AND THE BOOB
"Al, even though I'm a beloved national figure, we are BFF? Right?"
Mayor Bill de Blasio, his wife,
Chirlane McCray, children Dante and Chiara.
This guy is going to end up in jail. He’s made so many powerful enemies he should at least not engage in blatant patronage.
A communist promoting cronyism??? Surely you jest.
THE ODD COUPLE---BLOBBIO DESCRIBES HER AS HIS "NUMBER ONE ADVISOR" Insider buzz is that Blobbio is ruled by his wife---that the two work hand in hand to make public policy decisions.----Earlier news reports say Police Commissioner Bratton cautioned DeBlob not to bring his wife to the crucial meeting held to redress grievances of five cop unions Blobbio had slandered.
RESUME ENHANCEMENT PROGRESSIVE-STYLE During DeBlobbio's campaign, his wife Chirlane I. McCray was billed as a writer, poet, editor, communications professional, and political figure who published poetry and worked in politics for the Clintons.
THE REAL STORY Mrs DeBlobbio loudly declared her lesbianism in a magazine article---she was in a black feminist lesbian group and wrote poetry about being a lesbian. Politicker noted her husband's campaign website doesn't reference her background as an avowed lesbian and a lesbian activist or lesbian poet: It notes her affiliation with the Combahee River Collective, omitting mention of the groups lesbian roots, referencing it as "a pioneering black feminist collective."
The two met while both worked for the Dinkins campaign. She says she had a nose ring and wore African garb when he spotted her and was completely smitten. She never told him she was a lesbian. And later said after their marriage she was still attracted to women. During the mayoral campaign, she was asked about her lesbian lifestyle----she retorted she "didn't understand the question." The Blobbio's honeymooned in Communist Cuba and picked coffee beans w/ Sandinistas (then America's arch-enemies).
The New York Post ran a cartoon depicting the couple in bed, McCray on the phone telling someone, "I used to be a lesbian, but my husband, Bill de Blasio, won me over," while her husband lay beside her clad in sexy lingerie.
Is he afraid of men?
There were many women,but only one man,mentioned in the article.
As Plunkitt of Tammany Hall said “What good is it to be in power if you can’t help your friends?”.
