All Together Now: Spitzer, Silver and Bloomberg
This is probably worth waking up early for. Michael Bloomberg and Sheldon Silver, who oppose Eliot Spitzer’s current driver’s license policy, are appearing downtown together with the governor tomorrow at 9 a.m. That's according to the mayor's schedule, which was just sent out.
What should we ask them?

Ask them about mass transit, especially the second avenue subway line and a proposed fare hike.
Please ask them this.
In the mid-1990s, during a fiscal crisis, state aid to NYC's schools, where spending was low, was cut, while state aid to the rest of the state, where spending was high, was increased.
After 9/11, with the Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit going on, the state allowed education "tax relief" to increase more than state education "aid," pushing the city's share of state education funding down again.
In addition, taxes were raised drastically on city residents, and money was diverted from the classroom to pay enhanced pensions.
Now we may be heading for another fiscal crisis. Joe Bruno says nothing has changed in state education funding. Mayor Bloomberg has proposed a rich pension enhancement, which will immediately permit thousands of teachers to retire and get paid and health insurance to do nothing.
Will New York City's children be the victim again? Given that other interests really matter to Shelon Silver and they don't, why should anyone believe otherwise?
