Mike Bloomberg guilty of over seeing the largest abuse of tax payer money EVER in NYC gov history and mostly tech contracts starting with ECTP 911, CityTime, NYCAPS, and a long list....
"Three of Mayor Bloomberg's administrative assistants earned almost as much as the police commissioner last year, thanks to an unusual arrangement that allows them to get paid by the both government and the mayor, according to documents released yesterday.
Financial-disclosure forms show that Bloomberg formed a company called Manhattan West at the offices of his longtime accountant, Martin Geller, so he could personally pay the three aides for performing nongovernmental chores on their own time.
Stu Loeser, the mayor's spokesman, said the arrangement was cleared by the Conflicts of Interest Board.
Each of the three -- Allison Jaffin, Karen Greene and Irene Pistorino -- reported making between $60,000 and $100,000 from the mayor, in addition to government salaries that ranged from $113,429 to $117,818.
That put them in -- or close to -- the same bracket as top commissioners. For example, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly had a salary of $205,180.
The forms show that Kelly himself enjoyed one extraordinary perk -- he got to hitch five rides to Florida on the mayor's private jet. The flights were priceless.
"Value unknown," Kelly wrote in the section where he was supposed to declare their worth.
Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs disclosed a loan of $60,000 to $100,000 made to her former chief of staff, Jim Anderson, while he was serving as the mayor's communications director.
Financial deals between subordinates and superiors are banned under the city's ethics rules. But officials said that since Anderson stopped reporting to Gibbs in 2006, there was no issue.
Meanwhile, it was learned that one of Bloomberg's top staffers owns stock in a company whose subsidiary is getting city funding and tax breaks to build a Brooklyn basketball arena for the Nets.
Former Hillary Rodham Clinton political strategist Howard Wolfson, who joined the Bloomberg administration in March as deputy mayor for governmental affairs, listed among his investments stock in Forest City Enterprises worth $5,000 to $39,999.
"This project has never had any real oversight or accountability or full public transparency, so it shouldn't come as a shock that a member of the Bloomberg administration has money invested in it," said City Councilwoman Letitia James (D-Brooklyn), whose district includes the 22-acre project.
A city spokesman said Wolfson bought the stock in 2007 -- three years before he took the city post -- and the investment was "close to $5,000," thus "far below the threshold that raises potential conflict-of-interest issues.""
From Suzannah --- remember Team Bloomberg including Allison Jaffin's testimony Haggerty Trial -- and a sitting mayor committing perjury while Team Bloomberg suffered amnesia. Patti Harris gets money MONEY from Mikey too -- how creative does Bloomberg get funneling money and perks to pals as he allows the largest white collar crimes and abuse of tax payer money EVER in the history of NYC Gov!!!!!!
