“#Bill de Blasio\u2019s still chasing an insane, squalid NYC school bus deal<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n For all their claims to be desperate for cash, City Hall and the Department of Education are still looking to buy a yellow bus company. It\u2019s nuts \u2014 and squalid.<\/p>\n

Yes, squalid: Post reporting IDs the company as Reliant Transportation, whose owner is one of Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s donors and which has long gotten favorable treatment.<\/p>\n

The mayor not only has a hiring freeze on, he\u2019s on the verge of laying off 22,000 city workers \u2014 yet he\u2019s looking to add 1,800 new employees, plus an estimated $150 million pension liability.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the DOE still hasn\u2019t finalized the contracts to transport vulnerable special-needs kids \u2014 barely a week before school was to start. (Was the realization that the DOE needed to settle a whole host of bus issues a secret reason the mayor agreed to delay reopening?)<\/p>\n

Chancellor Richard Carranza, with typical incompetence, has gone through three heads of the Office of Pupil Transportation.<\/p>\n

Last year, he canned Alexandra Robinson for mismanaging a $9 million project to outfit 6,000 buses with GPS-trackers. It took a scoop by The Post\u2019s Susan Edelman to get the DOE to cancel bus contracts, weeks after the pandemic closed all schools.<\/p>\n

And now the city\u2019s still chasing the Reliant deal, which app<\/a>arently aims to give the DOE its own bus fleet to transport special-needs students. To escape scrutiny by the City Council and comptroller, City Hall aims to do the deal via the Economic Development Corp. \u2014 which is supposed to be fostering new jobs, not adding existing ones to the city\u2019s payroll in a clear abuse of the contracting process.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
