10 MILLION to former chancellor Joel Klein in a No Bid contract to track test scores? What the heck is that? Where was that reported? Why wasn’t that on the Front Pages? That’s insane!!!!! This guy is so outta control and right in front of the public saying “Watch me do this”. This is absurd! He’s a train wreck.

My favorite quote from the Powell piece: “Mr. Bloomberg enjoys talking of bringing business practices to the public sector, but it’s hard to imagine top law and financial firms handing out evaluations of its partners to potential customers.” Hmm.

Don’t believe a single work out of Quinn’s mouth when it comes to education. She is Bloomberg’s lapdog and will continue his reign of terror on the public school system of NYC.

Quinn is a “clone” of Bloomberg. She would promise us anything to get the vote. Yeah, right she would agree to a sunset clause. Stick with me and put your money on either DeBlasio or Thompson. As the saying goes read the “fine print”.

Ask Quinnberg how that “mayoral sunset” went four years ago when people voted TWICE for term limits, yet she helped Bloomberg get around them.
Oh, yeah, Quinnberg’s okay with a “sunset”…until she’s not.
