Mayor de Blasio’s campaign haul from the yellow-taxi industry was much higher than previously reported — with the influential sector ponying up more than $550,000 last year, a Post review found.
That amount was matched by an additional $150,000 in public funds last year, Campaign Finance Board records show.
The bulk of the donations came from six bundlers, including yellow-cab lobbyist Michael Woloz, who alone brought in nearly $237,000.
De Blasio initially supported but soon grew critical of then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s plan to put 18,000 outer-borough green taxis on the streets over three years.
Yellow-cab medallion owners see the green taxis as a competitive threat.
The de Blasio administration had refused Thursday to confirm this year’s batch of 6,000 green cabs — the second round of three — would go out as planned.
But after media reports, city officials said late Friday that they “should” begin issuing more permits in late summer.
