Education is the core of being successful.  Why then do avowed liberals undermine the educational process?  It is shameful that Mayor de Blasio and NYC  Chancellor Carmen Fariña do not put students first. 

Mayor de Blasio is putting your hard-earned tax dollars to poor use again.  As NYPD Sergeants union president Ed Mullins said: “There’s a long-standing statement that crime doesn’t pay. We’ve now proved it does.” 

The icing on the cake comes with Mayor de Blasio using his authority to demoralize by regulation businesses in New York City.

Finally, CNN gets a story right.
