\n<\/p>\n

On the one hand!<\/p>\n

Maya Wiley attempted to bat away criticism over failed promises to deliver broadband Internet access to public housing developments, all while trying to take credit for a major legal settlement negotiated in 2020. <\/p>\n

Wiley \u2014 a leading candidate in the Democratic mayoral primary \u2014 offered the eyebrow-raising defense to aspects of a Post investigation during Tuesday night\u2019s televised debate, where she faced off against the seven other contenders in the June 22 election. <\/p>\n

\u201cI left city government five years ago, very grateful to have had the opportunity,\u201d Wiley said as she opened her defense during the second hour of the forum, which was sponsored by WNBC-TV\/Ch. 4, Telemundo and Politico New York. \u201cWhen I walked in the door, the mayor said \u2018universal broadband, that\u2019s yours\u2019. I said, \u2018great\u2019, this is something that no city in this country has ever done.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI got the opportunity: one, to sue Verizon because it failed to FiOS \u2014 fast-speed broadband to all of our communities,\u201d Wiley continued. \u201cThere was a positive settlement in that.\u201d <\/p>\n

Wiley did not mention that the settlement was finalized in November 2020 \u2014 more than four years after she left City Hall.<\/p>\n

In the next breathe, Wiley again attempted to claim credit for rolling out free broadband access to the residents at NYCHA\u2019s Queensbridge Houses. <\/p>\n

She did note that the de Blasio administration\u2019s promises to install it at an additional four public housing complexes went unfulfilled. <\/p>\n

A competitor, former financier Ray McGuire, jumped in to point out the broken promise, prompting Wiley to claim it was not her fault because she left. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wasn\u2019t in the administration,\u201d Wiley shot back. \u201cNot under my watch, Ray; that is a falsehood, it has to be called out.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
