And never mind that the mayor has been demanding unprecedented NYPD restraint on all fronts. <\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the lunatic Blas-ordered purchase of the Reliant school-bus company to bail out its owner, a Blas donor \u2014 decades after the city got out of the bus business. The mayor has long favored Reliant and its drivers with unique taxpayer subsidies; now he\u2019s having a near-bankrupt city throw away millions to buy it lock, stock and barrel. <\/p>\n<p>Rotten barrel: It has tens of millions of dollars in liabilities, an aging fleet of leased vehicles and questionable \u201cintellectual property.\u201d Its assets will go to a new nonprofit, New York City School Bus Umbrella Services, Inc., responsible for transporting thousands of special-needs students. <\/p>\n<p>With those workers getting improved perks and pay, this will drive up contracting costs for the still-private companies that bus the other 90 percent of city students. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Comptroller Scott Stringer and, if need be, the feds should be all over this odiferous move \u2014 and stop it dead.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as The Post\u2019s Susan Edelman reports, public-school parents are furious at being left in the dark about this year\u2019s grading system and the scheduling of key tests for entry to the top high schools and Gifted and Talented programs, and even the annual state exams. Heck, the Department of Education won\u2019t even release the results of its parent survey.<\/p>\n<p>Yet de Blasio stands by schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, who has bungled literally every challenge since COVID-19 hit.<\/p>\n<p>All this, as the mayor fails to make the spending cuts needed to stave off the fiscal collapse the city\u2019s soaring toward. No wonder no one running to replace him is interested in \u201cwinning\u201d de Blasio\u2019s endorsement.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/16\/de-blaios-latest-week-of-proving-hes-the-worst-mayor-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#De Blasio&#8217;s latest week of proving he&#8217;s the worst mayor ever&#8221; It was yet another week in which Bill de Blasio proved himself New York\u2019s worst mayor ever \u2014 on multiple fronts.
