Blaz’s secrets

Redacted emails don’t reveal full slate

MAYOR DE BLASIO makes a point of letting the public see what he says is his daily schedule, but newly released emails reveal he’s regularly attending meetings and making calls the public doesn’t know about.

The emails were released Friday to the Daily News and other media via a Freedom of Information request made more than a year ago.

They detail communications between de Blasio and political advisers he calls “agents of the city,” including longtime consultant John Del Cecato and his firm, AKPD Message & Media.

They contain only schedules from Aug. 3-Sept. 1, 2015, but a comparison to the schedules de Blasio posts for public review on his website make clear he’s not showing everything he’s doing during workdays.

For instance, none of the schedules posted on the Mayor’s website mention de Blasio’s notorious morning visits to the Park Slope gym in his old Brooklyn neighborhood. All appear to be carefully mapped out on the newly released and heavily redacted emails, including the expected 30-minute travel time from Gracie Mansion to Brooklyn and another 30 minutes from Brooklyn to City Hall.

His destination in Brooklyn, however, was blacked out.

And the public isn’t getting the whole story on the mayor’s website about his meetings inside and outside City Hall.

Take Friday, Aug. 7, 2015. The schedule released to the public lists a half-hour “CALL” that morning, with the rest of the day described as “Flex Time: Meetings & Call Block.”

On the schedule released Friday, the day’s regimen is carefully blocked off, listing four separate events during the 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “FLEX TIME.”

On Monday Aug. 10, 2015, the schedule on the mayor’s website ends his day at 4:30 p.m., but there are three more meetings after that at City Hall, according to the newly disclosed schedule.

Discerning whom he’s meeting or even where the meetings take place is often impossible, however, because the newly released emailed mayoral schedules black out many locations, subjects and participants.

Eric Phillips, the mayor’s press secretary, said the information was covered up for multiple reasons.

“The redactions could relate to a variety of things, including personal appointments, job interviews, or meetings and calls that didn't end up happening. These are preliminary schedules, unlike those we release monthly on the website,” he said.

During the debate Tuesday, de Blasio (below) held himself out as the most transparent mayor ever.

“No mayor had that level of transparency. I’m very proud we have put that in place in this city,” he said.
