MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG'S STATEMENT
ON CAMPAIGN FOR FISCAL EQUITY DECISION
"As the person responsible for New York City's schools, I am
deeply disappointed by this decision. The ruling impedes the City's
efforts to obtain its fair share of resources from the State so that
we can provide our children with a sound and basic education. However,
as one who submitted a friend-of-the-court brief, I am pleased that
the Campaign for Fiscal Equity will appeal the decision in the Court
of Appeals and continue fighting for the funding that New York City's
schools deserve and need."
