A development firm that inked a $12 million deal with the city donated $25,000 to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s nonprofit after receiving a phone call from Hizzoner himself, according to newly released details. A less-redacted version of the 15-page Department of Investigation report released last month gives a closer look into de Blasio’s fundraising tactics.
Though many details remain secret, the identities of four development companies that donated to de Blasio’s now-defunct nonprofit Campaign for One New York were revealed.
The latest version of the DOI document was first reported by The City.
The firms included Douglaston Development LLC, which got approved for more than $12 million in taxpayer funds, as well as a transfer of city-owned property in the Bronx, for its mixed-use project “Crossroads Plaza” in December 2014, the report said.DOI investigators reported they “substantiated” reports the “Mayor solicited contributions from any individual who had, or whose organization had, a matter pending or about to be pending before any executive branch of the City.”
