The NY State Assembly Education hearings on Mayoral control that were supposed to be held today were postponed last night because of snow. Given that the hearings were to be held remotely this is hard to understand. Perhaps the Assemblymembers wanted to have a snow day, which unfortunately, the Mayor is not allowing NYC kids.
Here and below is the testimony I wanted to give and will hopefully be able to give some day in the future.
