The next day, at a business conference featuring various of Mr.
Bloomberg released a video endorsement of Mr. Adams has recently come to lean on one person in particular: Michael R. In the lead-up to and aftermath of the New York City mayoral primary, Eric Adams and his team sought guidance from current and past city leaders - first, to help craft his successful bid for the Democratic nomination, and then to prepare for a likely transition to the mayoralty.īut Mr. You want evidence: Who is Adams leaning on for advice and money? Michael Bloomberg.* He is now a man of the people who gets his money from small donors, cares about equity, loves public schools, loathes charter schools, denounces Students First, and has the best interests of New York City's children at heart. They will go to large lengths to make us go away.īut now, apparently, Adams has done a 180-degree turnaround. We figured everything out with safety, livelihood and profession. We closed and opened in September after having a greater loss than any other system. Not trying to promote conspiracy theories but this is a fact. They are probably working together (Yang and Adams and Students First). Students First is running independent expenditures for Eric Adams. That is a pro-charter school organization. The group that he worked with was Students First. Person who ran Bloomberg's things was Andrew Tusk. If a teacher takes a child who was 3 grades behind and moved him up a level, that is a phenomenal success but schools that had kids at grade level were looking better. The accountability system was designed to say someone is a loser. That was some of the nastiest fights we have ever had. Closing schools and pushing students with greater needs kids into schools they wanted to close. This is from my notes on Mulgrew's report at the May Town Hall.ĭuring Bloomberg years, constant attacks on our Union. In the spring, President Mulgrew told us in great detail how dangerous Andrew Yang and Adams were. “Both Andrew Yang and Eric Adams are supported by hedge fund billionaires and people who don’t care about equity and who don’t have the best interests of New York City’s children at heart,” Mulgrew said in a statement. This is what President Michael Mulgrew declared as part of a statement before the June Democratic primary:
That's right, we are now going to back the same Eric Adams that the UFT warned not to rank among our top five candidates before the Democratic primary in June. The Executive Board will vote on rubber stamp the endorsement Monday evening.
We learned tonight that the UFT is planning to endorse Eric Adams for mayor.
