NYC DOE is a cesspool of financial unaccountability which it appears many know but nothing is done about it. In NYC central control has always meant more for me and less for you - you being jane and joe taxpayer.
NYC DOE is also a joke but a sad one for the young people. Bloomberg through his minions have legitimized corruption even more and on bigger scale thn Rudy. DOE is a black hole of inconsistent and ineffectual use of funds along with rampant crookery.
