Bill de Blasio’s lobbyists called top

‘City Hall wanted me to blast the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association for turning their backs on him,’ one
politician told the news site.
They called up Monday, said they were calling all of us, and that it was our obligation to stand up defending the mayor.’

Another politician confirmed he got a call, as well, according to DNA Info.
A City Hall spokesman tried to cast the
