Reply to comment by mowotlarx in NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov used government email to solicit business by mowotlarx
She sent emails.
He gave government jobs (and money) to family members with no qualifications.
And then there's the $850 that de Blasio's wife "misplaced".
If we're talking governmental grift and theft, Vernikov certainly is in good company in NYC.

She sent solicitations to her constituents from her official Government email to entice them to sign up for paid courses from a company she owns. She is using her government position to privately enrich herself.
Stop whatabouting. Nothing she did is excusable or inconsequential.

Well, in the light of what the current and former mayors did, it is kinda inconsequential. That doesn't make it excusable, though (nor did I say it was), nor legal.
But it's such small fish stuff compared to the bigger scale fraud happening in local politics that it's almost laughable to focus on that.
But then we don't have a ton of local GOP politicians, so we'll take what we can. We did have George Santos, though, that one for sure delivered.

It's not small fish stuff. It's a major conflict of interest violation.
