Hiding behind the "innocent until proven guilty" deceit makes all who do so complicit to the crime and is a further betrayal of NY citizens; this corruption is a theft and is of course not limited to one party but is pervasive throughout NY politics with rare exceptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-47029074644599653852015-01-22T21:29:35.124-05:002015-01-22T21:29:35.124-05:00Things are so surreal tight now, who knows?

This is simply a holding operation designed to keep the chaos from spilling too openly out into the streets. <br /><br />When one of them does get to 54--presumably with the help of the Governor who despite all the gnashing of teeth about whether he wants to actually own his new "Opportunity Agenda" as sole proprietor despises Silver--I assure you that there will be a Night of the Long Knives for Shelly and the members who've been perhaps a bit too tight with him these last twenty years.

Doesn't the whole timing of this seem staged? There's tremendous amounts of money to made by privateers on Cuomo's agenda. The pirates are waiting to plunder. Right after Cuomo declares war on teachers, the one person who can stop him is arrested!

What's your take on Silver taking on Tisch? Is there a chance of Silver telling her behind closed doors to lay off the teachers or do you think that he may strategically look for a way of replacing her? I know that they are "neighbors" but teachers are so extremely unhappy with her education policies and her heavy-handedness on using state scores to rate teachers that I'm hoping that she has "unforeseen occurrence" befall her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
