By Azi Paybarah in Manhattan, Jimmy Vielkind in Albany, and Mike Allen in D.C., with Daniel Lippman
PERCOCO'S PAPERWORK - POLITICO New York's Jimmy Vielkind: The internal questionnaire is five pages long, demanding information about everything from college suspensions to blogging. There's also an authorization for the State Police to conduct a background check, and a separate form that authorizes the state Tax Department to provide recent returns. Getting a job in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration requires a stack of paperwork, including the disclosure of outside income, political activities and, to be safe, "any matters which may involve a conflict of interest or an appearance of such a conflict or any problem in connection with your appointment." And while it's unclear what his
questionnaire said, Joe Percoco, Cuomo's close political counselor and a central figure in an ongoing probe of his administration, filled it out when he returned to the state payroll in late 2014 after managing the governor's re-election effort.
"It should be crystal clear to someone in the administration that he had outside consulting clients, some of whom had business before the government, and either he failed to disclose it or someone failed to understand the consequences on the other. ... This is central to why you fill these forms out: to identify potential conflicts of interest so your employer knows who they are in advance," NYPIRG executive director Blair Horner said. "If they failed to ask, shame on them. If he failed to tell them, shame on him. He wasn't just some functionary in some giant, vast bureaucracy - he was a top adviser, and the governor was apparently aware he had outside clients. The governor has some
responsibility to make sure this was done right." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e5512c017877124de2552bc9faa46acd15ad87baf472fc23762a8
CUOMO ALLY SMIKLE SWIPES AT DE BLASIO - Times' Vivian Yee: "For weeks, the accusation has lingered, muddying public discussions and giving a long-running political spat new bite: Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose fund-raising on behalf of Democratic candidates for the State Senate in 2014 is under investigation by state and federal authorities, has pointedly hinted that he believes that details of the inquiry were leaked to the press in the latest of many attempts by Cuomo to undercut him. The governor's side has decided to swat back. 'To the extent that the mayor is asserting that the current investigation is politically motivated, that would imply that actions of the Manhattan D.A. and the U.S.
attorney are politically motivated,' Democratic State Committee executive director Basil Smikle, said. 'It would also imply that the newspapers, editorial boards and good government groups that raised these very issues prior to any investigations are all politically motivated.' 'The Manhattan D.A. had no obligation to investigate the matter,' Smikle continued. 'Law enforcement receives many reports from regulatory agencies and could find them to be frivolous, or politically motivated or flawed on its facts or on the law.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e5512921d5128582af1c4e528cae549973a7158ed4d5953a107c0
-- Talking to the Times last week, "Smikle said that Mr. Percoco, [Emma] Wolfe and others were 'clearly advised' by legal counsel 'that fund-raising earmarking was a circumvention of the state's campaign finance limits.' Eventually, the 'coordinated effort became divided' after 'internal strategic and operational disagreements,' he said. Citing published reports, Mr. Smikle added that the mayor's group is now under investigation, suspected of using earmarked funds through the Democratic county committees of Ulster and Putnam Counties." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e5512bdcf473f609e196c6ae15e799ccb30ece367184ebef59687

PREET WATCH - Buffalo News' Tom Precious: "A single federal subpoena to Cuomo's office two weeks ago showed that U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's probe has expanded significantly, and extends far beyond Buffalo. The subpoena wants information about individuals and companies from Brooklyn, Albany, the Hudson Valley, Syracuse, Westchester County, Rochester, Manhattan and Maryland. And though Cuomo last week said prosecutors are focusing on the actions of just two individuals the governor counted as among his longest and most trusted advisers - Joseph Percoco and Todd Howe - investigators appear to be headed in several directions that could take them well beyond just those two men. ... The broad
subpoena has "driven the administration crazy," according to a source close to the matter. ... Bharara wants to know if key Cuomo people, past and present, did anything to "benefit" several companies that have been a part of various state-financed projects. No company or person has been accused of any wrongdoing, and Bharara's office declines to comment on any of its probes. One company that turns up on the list in the subpoena to Cuomo's office is Norstar Development, a construction and property management company based north of Toronto with its U.S. headquarters in Buffalo. Also on the list is Swan Street Lofts, which is the limited partnership that built an affordable housing project
rented by artists in a struggling area in north Albany. The project in 2011 got state money to help turn a former Catholic high school into 22 apartments with a large common space for arts-related work." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e5512369f17e9fcda7557e76fc85187cbac6d72c512347240067b
DE BLASIO PLANS PIVOT TO SMALL-DOLLAR FUNDRAISING - POLITICO New York's Laura Nahmias: Mayor Bill de Blasio signaled Friday he's going to significantly shift his fundraising strategy as he readies his 2017 re-election campaign, focusing on raising small amounts of money from a wide group of donors rather than relying heavily on wealthy donors who can pay the maximum amount to his campaign.
But he also told WNYC's Brian Lehrer that he reserved the right to allow a 501(c)(4) group to spend on his behalf in the future, citing the possibility of a well-funded challenger coming forward.
Campaign Finance board records show that de Blasio's 2017 campaign has raised more than $1 million for the mayor's re-election effort, but just 10 donations have been what the Campaign Finance Board considers small dollar donations, of $175 or less. The small dollar donations make up just $963 of the mayor's $1 million in fundraising for the 2017 election. De Blasio is no stranger to grassroots fundraising, though. When he was a dark horse candidate in the 2013 Democratic mayoral primary, 62 percent of the $4.6 million he raised came from small-dollar donations. By contrast, 49.5 percent of the $4.5 million raised by Bill Thompson, another Democratic candidate in the race, came from small
dollar donations. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e5512bd5255789dce805807926595c90d27b135769207a6b6c600

FUN READ -- "New York's Official Language is Fashion: In a city where we're all on display all the time, we speak to each other with clothes," by Amy LaRocca in New York Magazine: "One of the greatest joys of living in New York is the opportunity to peacock. Or, if your personality goes another way, the opportunity to enjoy the peacocks as they make their way up and down the streets and avenues. ... New York is a great mecca of style because we are endlessly asked to put it all on display. More than do the inhabitants of cities with no 24-hour subways, or cities where walking isn't innate, we define ourselves and speak to one another with clothes practically without respite. That's the fun
of it, and also the challenge. Leave the house, and you will be seen. And so we use fashion to announce our tribal leanings or our determination to belong to no tribe whatsoever, except for the tribe of this sometimes-crazy place where, truly, anything goes, and, if you need to push the envelope, no one will stop you from going, basically, nude." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e5512886bf38a59517189c6b47fea4010ea89fb865f2d34cb4fae

The five-bedroom, 5 ^1/₂ bathroom maisonette is listed with Brown Harris Stevens for $9.75 million. ... Asked why they are moving, Brown told me, 'Empty nest. I don't like seeing kids' empty rooms.' (The couple's children, George and Isabel, are 30 and 26, respectively.) As for where they might relocate, Brown said, 'We'll move anywhere not owned by Donald Trump.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e55120a2cad9beba40365fab9a9b0446ab3c8333067ca63bc3952
THOUGHT LEADERS - "The Skills Schools Aren't Teaching But Must," by Michael Bloomberg and Jamie Dimon on Bloomberg View: "The U.S. presidential campaign has focused a great deal on the need to expand economic opportunity, but candidates in both parties have not said enough about how they would achieve it. While helping more students go to college has been a topic of discussion and is a vitally important goal, what about those who do not go -- or who drop out of high school? They are largely being ignored, as they have been for decades, by an education system that is stuck in the past. That must change. We will not solve the critical challenges of poverty, underemployment, wage stagnation

DAILY TRUMP -- "How Donald Trump Got Tapped to Lead New York's Israel Day Parade," by David Freedlander in NYMag; "It is one of Donald Trump's chief foreign-policy credentials: that morning a dozen years ago when he marched down Fifth Avenue with the words grand marshal across his chest. 'In spring 2004, at the height of violence in the Gaza Strip, I was the grand marshal of the 40th Salute to Israel Parade, the single largest gathering in support of the Jewish state,' Trump told attendees at this year's [AIPAC] conference in Washington, D.C., a line he has also offered at debates, in interviews, or whenever his fealty to the Jewish state or knowledge of foreign affairs is questioned. 'It
was a very dangerous time for Israel and frankly for anyone supporting Israel,' he continued. 'Many people turned down this honor. I did not. I took the risk, and I'm glad I did.' Which is, as is often the case with Trump's stated accomplishments, not the way others involved with the event remember it. 'I mean, come on,' said Juda Engelmayer, a PR executive who served on the board of directors of the Israel Tribute Committee, which used to organize the annual event. 'The Israel Day Parade is one of the most protected parades at every level of government. I don't think there was ever any concern that anyone's life would be in danger.' Photos of the event show a beaming Trump waving to the
crowd on a gorgeous summer afternoon and shaking hands with attendees." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e55128c49e0176b8153b287d36e2d264541a4b53d9aeec44a5d4a
HILLARYWATCH - "Clinton caught in end-of-the-primary trap ... [N]eeds to start focusing on Donald Trump.

Democrats may have an unprecedented opportunity to win over the significant number of GOP voters ... and the Clinton campaign is unable to take full advantage. ...

FBI investigators interviewed Ameri recently regarding the corruption probe, sources said.NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau also pulled two years worth of escort records on Thursday, sources said.

STRINGER CALLS LIFTING OF DEED RESTRICTIONS 'OUTRAGEOUS' - POLITICO New York's Sally Goldenberg: Shortly before the de Blasio administration took questions about a botched land use deal during a City Council hearing Friday afternoon, Comptroller Scott Stringer criticized City Hall, saying "We have to get to the bottom of this kind of pay to play process that I think is not serving the public interest." Stringer's spokesman later said the "pay to play" comment was not directed at City Hall. Stringer was responding to a question about whether the various investigations surrounding Mayor Bill de Blasio have impacted his own calculation on possibly running for mayor in 2017. "It has not in any
way shaped my view of the political terrain," he said. "As soon as you start talking politics, you lose that credibility. For me, we are in the midst of an investigation and my political plans have not changed at all." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=b3b8fbb14c1e55125f803535c697b2e2b1d4512d44db882976ec8b9f22214980

** A message from REALTORSⓇ Advocacy Committee: First-Time Homebuyers in New York need help!
Homeownership rates across the country continue to fall and achieving the dream of owning a home is more difficult than ever for many New Yorkers. High taxes and fees create barriers for potential homebuyers in New York who work hard to save for the purchase of their first homes.
State lawmakers are considering the NY First Home proposal, a new tax-free savings account program modeled after the State's 529 education savings program. If adopted, individual New Yorkers could save up to $5,000 annually (couples up to $10,000) to pay for costs associated with purchasing their first homes.
Contact your State Senator and Assemblymember to support the NY First Home proposal and tell them to create an incentive program to help New Yorkers who Dare to Dream.
