Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio Ordered to Pay Massive $475K Fine for Misusing NYPD During Presidential Run
America’s least favorite mayor, Bill de Blasio of New York, has just been ordered to pay a massive $475K fine for misusing the NYPD during his doomed presidential run in 2020.
He was apparently billing the city, essentially using taxpayer dollars for his own interests. What a surprise.
One has to wonder if this would have even been brought up under normal circumstances. The city is obviously scrounging for cash given the comnination of lost tax revenue from people who have fled and the thousands of new illegal border crossers costing them millions.
