DEALING
AT
ITS WORST!
Nowhere
but
in the
dysfunctional
system
that
is
now
New
York
$tate
government
would
a
scheme
to
raid localeducationdollars
to bailout
a
transitsystern
be
taken
seriously.Long
lsland schoolsare
beingordered
to
take
on
a
peffnanent
obligation
to
fund
the
mfAin
exchange
for
a
prornissory
note
that is
not
worth
thepaper
it
is
not
written
on.tn
two weeksourvoters
will
pass
judgment
on
local schoolbudgets that
are
the
tightest
in
years....schoolbudgets
that
donot
include
the
$24.4
mandatedincrease
for
the
MTA.
A
i'rcimbursement',
if it
comes
at all,
would
not
be
taken
upuntil the
2010-11 statebudget.And
what
then?
ls
the
MTA
"reimbursement"
to
be
added
to the
list of
promised
aids
that
our
schools
have
to
fight
for
annually?
How
soon
will
it
be
before
the
"reimbursernent"
isviewed
as
extra stateaidgoing
to
"rich"
Long
lsland?
How long
will
it
take
before
schooldistrictsare
chastised
for
the
increases
in
their
expenditurc
budgets
to
accommodatethe
additional
payroll
costs?
IS
THIS
WHATYOU,
OUR

AGREED
TO?
