Working For The Man
Former NYC Department of Education lobbyist Steve Allinger is now working as the top legislative arm-twister for NYSUT. Some observers have noted that despite Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Joel Klein’s strong support for charter schools downstate, Allinger was never really a big fan and didn't exactly help push the ball up the field with any real sense of urgency. He’ll be right at home with NYSUT, which is pretty much the one thing standing in the way of more charter school options for kids in the Empire State. See the news here. Meanwhile, in NYC, Allinger will be replaced by veteran policy wonk Terence Tolbert. See the release here.
