Today's NY Times:
Mr. Mulgrew, noting that his union had “no disagreement with the
governor over the evaluations,” did not object to Mr. Cuomo’s tying the
increase in education aid to the creation of the evaluation system.
“We’re just as frustrated as he is, and I publicly came out and asked him to get involved,” he said.

Some people seem astounded by this statement of Mulgrew. Not me. You see, it's Bloomberg who is the problem. A few years ago Bloomberg
was the good guy and Klein was the problem. Walcott is really OK. And so
is Merryl Tisch and John King. And, Obama and Duncan will be just fine after the UFT/AFT endorses them in July.
But is NYSUT on the same page or just sending up confusing smoke signals?
Carl Korn, a spokesman for New York State United Teachers, said that
while the union shared “the governor’s frustration over the
implementation of the law,” tying teacher evaluations to state education
aid was the “wrong approach.”
“We think supporting teachers and unions in their work is a much better approach,” Mr. Korn said.
