New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio doled out about $1.6 million in raises to favored City Hall staffers in the last fiscal year — including a 60% pay bump for a long-serving aide Wiley Norvell, a New York Daily News analysis found.
The Daily News analyzed the salaries of 473 staffers who worked for the Mayor’s Office in both fiscal 2017 and 2018, and found that 106 of them were given raises totaling more than a million and a half dollars. Among them, 17 saw their salary increase by 30% or more — in some cases getting raises big enough to pay the entire salary of other staffers. At the top of that list was longtime adviser Wiley Norvell, who received a $67,450 raise — bringing his salary from $112,550 to $180,000.
