Allright, a banker in charge of schools! Ya’ know, I’m a Giants football fan and I’m hoping they give Al Roker a shot at quarterbacking if Eli Manning isn’t up to snuff, this weekend.

So, let’s see, the mayor and chancellor break up and close neighborhood schools so that kids have to travel throughout the city to get to their “specialized” smaller schools. Now, the MTA wants to revoke many of the free bus and train passes the kids need to get to these schools. Quite a one-two punch if you ask me. Boy, what was Bloomberg saying in his election ads, again? More jobs, bringing fares down, helping the middle class?
Keep it Going, NYC…but now it’s gonna’ cost ya’!
Pathetic.
