UFT Launches Ads To Defend Itself Against Attacks Over Tenure And Charter Schools

It's behind a paywall at Capital NY, but here's the details so far:

The United Federation of Teachers is launching a $1.4 million ad campaign today, as the union attempts to defend itself from attacks over teacher tenure and charter schools.

$1.4 million sounds like a lot, but if you consider that pro-charter proponents and supporters threw more than $5 million into the "De Blasio hates children/Eva loves them" ad blitz last budget season and threw millions more into pro-charter ads right before last week's rally in Foley Square, you see that the $1.4 million UFT ad buy is way too late and too many dollars short.
