What does Spinson know? He doesn’t even live in Yonkers.

it is true that only governor pataki publicly acknowledged
that yonkers was getting the short end of the stick
joe bruno was too busy making deals to care about the
city …and john spencer was too busy calling them
all names to get any serious attention..now with patterson
and skelos it is quite possible that the formula will
finally get a second look and be modified to conform
to the facts on the ground in yonkers..ie yonkers is no
longer a privileged district as it was when i attended
roosevelt..so it needs help as much help as the other
big cities get….

Mayor Amicone’s spokesman David Simpson said Joseph Bruno did not speak out in support of revising the education funding formula for Yonkers.

”...the new state Senate Majority Leaders Dean Skelos said today that he would back rewriting the state education funding formula to get more aid to Yonkers schools.”

Yup. And so did Bruno, and the SpaNOs, and Pataki, and Pretlow, and Cuomo, and Silver, ad nauseum.
