Thompson on School Cuts: 'Something Doesn't Add Up'


Here’s Bill Thompson at yesterday’s rally against the city’s proposed cuts to education funding, coming up with an unsolicited math lesson for Joel Klein.

“The state just sent the city $600 million more for education, and the chancellor is talking about making cuts,” Thompson says. “Something doesn’t add up. One and one usually makes two. Not three. Not four. Not five. Not minus one.”

Thompson is definitely on to something. How can you add all of this money and then see cuts? The money went somewhere and it wasn't just raises. DOE is holding something back or explaining it poorly.
