De Blasio's Recovery Task Force Follies

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio decided to appoint his wife Chirlane McCray to co-chair a new coronavirus recovery task force entitled the Task Force on Racial Inclusion and Equity.

"Let her win the Brooklyn borough presidency on her own merits." McCray's Task Force on Racial Inclusion and Equity is separate and apart from de Blasio's Fair Recovery Task Force, which will supposedly plan New York City's broader recovery.

De Blasio has also established eight Sector Advisory Councils focused on such facets of city life as business, arts and culture, tourism, labor, faith and educational training.

The title alone of de Blasio's other task force - the Fair Recovery Task Force - should give away its political agenda.

De Blasio chose as one of the members of his Fair Recovery Task Force the president of the George Soros-backed Open Society Foundation, Patrick Gaspard.

Gaspard will be well-placed to help de Blasio plan New York City's economic "Recovery." After all, de Blasio, who honeymooned in Fidel Castro's Cuba and supported the communist Sandinistas, once described his vision of the perfect society as "Democratic socialism."

Another member of his Fair Recovery Task Force is de Blasio's former commissioner of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Maria Torres Springer.
