50? I’d be happy if they were doing 50. More like 65 is what I see.

I’ve only ever called it the 59th street Bridge because it reminds me exactly where it goes.

Yesterday, I found myself using the term RFK and slapped myself out of it.

And honestly, the Jackie Robinson is fucking awful. Not the infrastructure as much as the drivers though.

These guys don’t pay their workers, you expect them to pay for lawyers. When they realize how fucked they are you’ll see them find money for a private lawyer.

It’s more that the employer’s insurer will strongly encourage a settlement as it’s cheaper than going to court and winning.

Something tells me that you've never been to Cuba. Most Cuban doctors either sign up for the Cuban government to send them overseas where they can make more money, or they leave and go overseas themselves to send back money to their families. You've got a warped view of the world and should probably get out, get a job, see it for yourself.

The city granted you a permit to build what you want on this land, but only for X years. You chose to build a house and now want to pretend that the permit wasn't temporary. Everyone will spend money on lawyers, but in the end, you had full knowledge of the situation when building the house.

It wouldn't. They'll go through litigation and lawyers will make a shit ton of money, but as long as the Mayor doesn't get in the way, in the end the city will not be on the hook for anywhere near that amount. They chose to build that arena knowing they had a temp permit.

Seems like they're ignoring all the ones that I see driving in from NJ, LI, and often found parked outside their own precincts.

No, it doesn’t. It compares each charter school student to a supposed average of equivalent traditional public school students from the traditional public school the charter school student came from. As a result it is ignoring about a third of all traditional public schools. Because it’s measuring improvement from one year to another, it’s ignoring any child in a charter school that has been there only one year including those kicked out after a year or those that didn’t transfer from a traditional public school. The report acknowledges that the feeder schools its comparing is closer in Demographics to the traditional public school system than the students they’re comparing them to.
It’s a report that uses a convoluted system the stack the deck against traditional public schools and excuses that by arguing it’s comparing how particular students would do in public vs charter schools. And I’m not surprised when they say who funded the study.

And every traditional public school has to provide access to learning in Dance, Music, Theater, or Visual and Media Arts. That's also something that has nothing to do with the article linked. I take it that's what we're doing.

Ahh, yes. Let's compare charters to only the worse performing schools and then take money from all traditional schools based on that comparison. That surely makes a lot of sense. . .

You should read that study, and pay particular attention to what they're comparing.

The problem is that charter schools have all these options and STILL perform like shit.
So why are we making traditional public schools worse in order to give money to Charters that have not proven to do better?

The governor shoveling money at charter schools has nothing to do with merit or tracking, or parents for that matter. Maybe the read the article.

Hmmm . . . seems like a national problem, including places where bail reform doesn't exist.

>A man was killed because someone who was arrested 15+ times ( including stabbing someone ) suffered little to no consequences and was free to then steal a U-Haul go on a rampage.
>The NYPD said Sor has eight prior arrests in his home state of Nevada, including one for stabbing his brother in 2015.
Ahh, yes, NYC is now responsible for crime taking place in Nevada. . . Like I said, embarrassing attempt at trolling.

The volume of incidents have markedly increased. So have the arrests according to the NYPD.
