Unions have showered roughly $175,000 in campaign cash over the years to three key legislators who oppose Gov. Kathy Hochul.’s budget proposal to allow more charter schools in New York City.
ALBANY – Labor unions are flexing their financial muscle in the fight against charter schools by showering cash on three key state lawmakers who oppose Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plans for more of the publicly funded private schools, according to a Post analysis.
At least $65,000 in campaign cash from 37 similar sources has gone to Liu , a former city comptroller, during his various runs for state office since 2014. “It’s the longer term relationships that the unions have with elected officials … that make the dollars they donate important,” he said. The first idea would eliminate a regional cap that limits charters to just 275 out of 460 charters statewide.“There’s no room for wiggly because there is no wiggliness necessary,” Liu told The Post on Thursday when asked if he had any “wiggle room” on allowing more charters.
Charter supporters say an expansion of charters is justified considering how minority families in particular benefit from alternatives to traditional public schools that have underperformed in many areas of the city and state.
