Randi likes living the comfortable life that her AFT salary and perks give her. But it's also about the attention she gets and the "power" she thinks she has.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-44606341475310701042014-11-02T18:27:34.530-05:002014-11-02T18:27:34.530-05:00Starve Cuomo of as many votes as possible, continu...Starve Cuomo of as many votes as possible, continue to mount challenges from the left, and work as hard as we can to discredit DLCers like Cuomo and Clinton. reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-16875175389253477072014-11-02T18:25:56.278-05:002014-11-02T18:25:56.278-05:00Prescient as always, Norm.

That is a lesson for them all. Keep Unity strong and in power. The major impact on Unity here will be the leakage of kids to charters and the loss of UFT members which some estimate to be 10,000 over the next decade, which will force the UFT to cut some of those plum staff positions - but look to Cuomo and diBlasio to supplement those staff plums with programs that allow the union to choose their people. That is the grease that keeps things humming.<br />ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-40051848106588403012014-11-02T12:25:36.257-05:002014-11-02T12:25:36.257-05:00You are 100% right of course but other than voting...You are 100% right of course but other than voting Green on Tuesday and telling others to do the same, what else would you suggest we do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-90923803983319476302014-11-02T12:24:25.058-05:002014-11-02T12:24:25.058-05:00Randi is loyal to Bill Gates, Andrew Cuomo, and Ba...Randi is loyal to Bill Gates, Andrew Cuomo, and Barack Obama.<br />Most of all, she is loyal to US$$$$$$.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
