Treyger’s Hot Air Fails to Cool Schools in His District
A new t-shirt for hot air blowing Councilman Treyger!
Mark Treyger gave a press release out stating that he wrote a letter asking Comptroller Scott Stringer to cover the cost of air conditioning in NYC schools. Yes, a website actually wrote about Treyger sending an e-mail to Stringer because this is how low politics has gone.
NYC Council released their spending for 2016-2017. Treyger could have given money to schools in Coney Island for air conditioners, but he didn’t. Instead Treyger gave more money to the not-for-profit in Assemblywoman Pam Harris’ home. Treyger has been a Councilman since 2013 and students in his district have had to sit through testing for years without Treyger stepping up and offering air conditioning.
While I wish this was a real move on a politician’s part, calling for air conditioners when it is nearly Fall is just a “playing politics.” Although it is hot now at the end of August, in September air conditioning is used in the first and second weeks of school only. Fall weather hits NYC quickly and air conditioning isn’t needed much in September.
If Treyger spoke up about air conditioning in March or April, we would know he was authentic.
Treyger must have already discussed this with Stringer. I predict cronyism will be strong at play when Stringer comes out and announces Airconditioning for Testing Classrooms. Hint to the Politicians: Clear things about school with Carmen Farina because most schools in NYC are air conditioned now. The ones that aren’t have weaker PTAs or cheap politicians (NOT) working for them.
