Bill’s big-bucks besties

Do you know the mayor’s email address? If you send him a concern, can you get a response from him lickety split? Didn’t think so. Four words emailed in April 2014 by Mayor de Blasio to big-money donor Jona Rechnitz, little more than an hour after Rechnitz had sent Hizzoner a request, speak volumes about the access to his City Hall bought by big political donations: “I’m all ears, Jona.”

Real estate developer Rechnitz had thought nothing of asking the mayor to make his associate the city’s buildings commissioner. And that earned him a rapid cc by de Blasio to his chief of staff for followup.

Months later, de Blasio’s office pulled the same seamy move after Rechnitz looked to City Hall for help on citations for running an illegal hotel.

Those and other emails obtained by the Daily News on Friday through a freedom of information request reveal the mayor and his officials again and again scrambling to assist two donors who had a direct line to him bought with tens of thousands of dollars raised for de Blasio’s 2013 campaign, followed by more than $180,000 to the mayor’s postinaugural political funds.

Rechnitz and the second donor, Jeremy Reichberg, had meanwhile been working their money magic on the NYPD, buying police details on demand. Rechnitz pleaded guilty in connection with a scheme involving a city union pension fund and is cooperating with prosecutors, while Reichberg maintains his innocence.

Those guys? “It’s not a particularly close relationship,” pooh-poohed the mayor upon their indictment last year by then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

De Blasio takes the subsequent decision by the feds not to indict anyone on his team as vindication that it’s A-OK to shovel up cash, then roll out the red carpet for those who gave the most — while continuing to pursue them for contributions.

This is the same mayor who waited more than 650 days in office to take questions and complaints from ordinary New Yorkers in a town hall meeting. And who had the gall, all the while, to puff up his chest insisting that he and only he would finally return City Hall to the little guy.

The Supreme Court may say that rapid-response emails and VIP access to official meetings don’t qualify as illegal pay-to-play. To pretend that newly lowered bar of legality is a meaningful ethical standard is to insult the intelligence of a city.
