If these two are in the running, then we are really in trouble.
I've been sick the last day, so my brain isn't working so well.
But with news of Henderson and now Byrd-Bennett, I'm starting to get a bad feeling about things.
The Bratton pick for NYPD I expected.
Byrd-Bennett or Henderson at the DOE?
Have to admit, never expected that.
If this news is true, then de Blasio's DOE really won't be much different than Bloomberg's.
If deBlasio wants to be re-elected in 2017, he better start on a good foot come January 1st. The parents, teachers, students, and the public are fed up with Bloomberg and they will show their bitter anger at deB within weeks if he makes decisions that are status quo corporate raiders and deformers.
ReplyDeleteIf deB thinks that picking Stalin or Franco to replace Mussolini is a politically good move, then he will definitely have an unpleasant public reaction to his choices.
BBB and Henderson would be like doubling down on the old policies. Boy, that would make Eva smile wouldn't it?
DeleteI am not familiar with either name, can you provide a little backround as they sound like Klein II,
ReplyDeleteHere's Bennett talking about why 50 schools need to be closed:

Henderson was Rhee's deputy at DCPS before she took over the DC schools system under Vincent Gray.
We will take this out on Cuomo if Bennett or Henderson are imposed on us.
ReplyDeleteIf it's true, we'll have to take it out on BdB. But we'll see. Might be just DFER rumors...
DeleteIf dB is watching what is happening with King, I can't imagine he would be this politically stupid. Wonder how much influence DFER and Wall Street are having in this decision. He was supposed to announce this week, but he only announced 2 major appointments.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think NYPD was always coming first and always going to be the stand alone. I mean, deputy mayor literally came first, but of the agencies, NYPD was first.
DeleteI don't believe those two are really in the running. NYT is full of crap, and Gotham recycling said crap lends it no more credence.
ReplyDeleteFair enough - but not a bad idea to get on record early letting BdB know that BBB or Henderson are unacceptable anyway. I did so, letting him know it in a respectable way.
