City Council Defeats 3.5 Million School Bond Resolution
A council committee defeated a resolution to appropriate 3,500,009 for building schoolhouses across the five boroughs after a lengthy debate. The measure would have funded sites in Manhattan and the Bronx, but opponents argued debt limits and rent costs make such spending unnecessary. The vote fell along coalition lines led by Cassidy and Murray, with three votes against the measure. The issue may be revived at the next meeting.
