Clock ticks on reveal of Blaz donors

- BY GINGER ADAMS OTIS

THE DE BLASIO clock still stands.

Republican mayoral challenger Nicole Malliotaki­s won’t be removing the counter on her website that ticks off the days since de Blasio promised to reveal “a stunning number” of donors who asked for City Hall favors and were refused.

On Friday the mayor released a lengthy oped on the website Medium that he said fulfilled his pledge — but it was notably short on new informatio­n and specific names.

It certainly wasn’t detailed enough to get Malliotaki­s to back down. “Frankly, his op-ed is a whole lot of nothing; he never names a contributo­r and never identifies a single project,” the mayoral candidate and state assemblywo­man said. “I will remain relentless in calling on Mayor de Blasio for real answers, I hope the media will do the same.”

Independen­t mayoral candidate Bo Dietl called de Blasio a “disgrace” and said a fresh investigat­ion into the allegation­s of payto-play with his donors should be opened.

“Once again when pressed for informatio­n, the mayor flakes,” said Dietl.
