BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio won’t say when he’ll repay taxpayers the $320,000 he spent on security services for his failed presidential campaign as he prepares to exit office.
The debt stems from de Blasio’s use of the New York Police Department for security detail on his short-lived campaign, which taxpayers covered, according to a report from the city’s Department of Investigation (DOI). De Blasio also owed hundreds of thousands to a law firm as of Nov. 10 for debts racked up from probes into his fundraising practices.
“I can’t pay it back because I don’t have that kind of money,” explained de Blasio. “But if it’s that important for this city to get the money from an ex-mayor, get it from Bloomberg. That runt will never miss it!”
