Maya Wiley had harsh words for Governor Cuomo Friday morning.

"When I am mayor, if you walk this journey with me I will make sure that we restore trust in public government," Wiley said standing outside Cuomo's Manhattan office.

Wiley was there to unveil a plan to reform ethics in government. She criticized Cuomo, after it was revealed he used government resources to promote a book which detailed his experience during the pandemic even as the crisis was in full swing and hardly under control.

But during her roll out, Wiley also revived a conversation she often tries to stay away from -- the role she played during an ethics scandal in the de Blasio administration

Among other things, Wiley is promising to ban lobbying by any person who works for her administration for the duration of her time in office. She is also pledging to disclose details of lobbyist meetings or donors to her campaign if the meeting involves city business.

"When a lobbyist or any donor to my campaign that has had city business meets with me or any of my top officials -- we will proactively make that public," Wiley said.

But it was a similar pledge that got her former boss, Bill de Blasio in hot water.

During his first term in office, de Blasio tried and failed to shield email conversations with outside advisers from public disclosure. And it was Wiley who coined a now infamous phrase, designating outside advisers as "agents of the city."

"Freedom of information Law actually provides exemptions for communications between the city and itself and its agents. In certain circumstances there are folks who are not city employees but are acting as agents of the city," Wiley said during a press conference alongside de Blasio back in May of 2016.

Wiley's ethics roll out came a day after her campaign appeared to increase attacks against Andrew Yang, who is leading the field according to early polls.

"There's no change in strategy, I'm just being me," she said.

Meanwhile in Brooklyn, Shaun Donovan was in the shadow of the Brooklyn Academy of Music detailing his plan to bring back the city's arts and culture, he accused Mayor de Blasio of ignoring the city's vibrant art scene.

"Mayor Bill de Blasio has made clear his feelings with the arts are synonymous with wealth and elitism, disregarding the incredible work that artists have done to enrich the lives of entire communities of people," Donovan said.

As part of his proposal, Donovan said he if elected mayor he would launch a citywide program to utilize empty spaces for arts and culture initiatives. He also said his administration would "prioritize making space available to artists of color who historically may not have had equitable access to performance and work space."

Live venues opened with limited capacity for the first time this Thursday since the pandemic began.
