MIKE BLASTS COUNCIL OVERRIDE; PLANS NEW “SURGE” AGAINST CELL PHONES

September 10, 2007 (GBN News): Mayor Bloomberg, in criticizing today’s override by the City Council of his veto of a bill guaranteeing children the right to carry cell phones to and from school, cited a recent Education Department survey to bolster his hard line against cell phone possession. “Not a single parent”, the Mayor said in a City Hall press conference, “chose ‘more cell phones’ as the most important improvement they would like to see in the schools.” Mr. Bloomberg also said that in what he termed a “surge” aimed at eradicating cell phones, school security chief Emomali Rakhmon plans to add 30,000 more school security agents to enforce the ban.
