NYC public school spending, and its share of state school aid, has generally been low. You voted for budgets that cheated NYC children. Even today, when you look at total state education funding, including "tax relief" aid, NYC residents are paying more in state taxes than they are getting back from state school aid.
Accountability is being required of NYC to improve the schools. All well and good. But the threat is to cut the city's share of state education funding even more.
Where is the accountability for the rest of the state, where the schools are good but the spending is ridiculous? Threaten to take that school tax relief aid away!
