[quote] First, a little perspective: Miller accuses Bloomberg of cutting $800 million a year from the schools' budget. But those aren't cuts, only delays — and they hardly represent the whole picture. Gotham will spend $14 billion to run its schools this year — 30 percent of the city budget, and nearly triple the amount spent on police, fire and sanitation services combined. (It's also 47 times the $300 million that Bloomberg wants to spend to help build the Jets stadium.)[/quote]
