In addition, there is this:
The cap on charter schools will be raised by 50 in the city and 130 elsewhere in the state.
And this:
The education tax credit — which was being pushed by private and parochial school backers, including Cardinal Timothy Dolan — was not agreed to, either. Instead, lawmakers and Cuomo announced a $250 million reimbursement program for mandated services at private and parochial schools.
More as we get it.
Heastie did not drive a very good bargain...giving on Cheater Schools--and coming up with $250M for parochial and private schools and conceding to Flanagan $1.3B in money to flow to affluent home owners--makes the rent deal look even weaker. Heastie and Assembly got smoked...light up phones don't let the heavy hearts concede for a second time
