“Today’s verdict and conviction of Jeremy Reichberg is proof that Bill de Blasio’s administration has been for sale since day one. As Public Advocate, I will hold Mayor de Blasio accountable, and ensure that we strengthen the City’s transparency and conflicts of interest laws to rid our government of this wanton bribery. The evidence presented at the trial highlighted how close Bill de Blasio was to this felon and the government’s key witness, and how much access the Mayor gave to both of them. No amount of word-play and legal maneuvering justifies how much Mayor de Blasio wanted to hide these relationships from the public. Bill de Blasio talks a big game about ridding the city of big money in politics, but since he took office he has been part of the problem, not the solution. He needs to come clean and tell New Yorkers the whole truth about his relationship with Rechnitz and Reichberg, today.”
