The annual showdown over who should control New York City's schools isn't likely to be settled until June, after lawmakers left it out of their budget deal. The omission was somewhat surprising, since sources said last week that the deal was likely to give Mayor Bill de Blasio another one-year extension. Senate Republicans, who have a longstanding feud with de Blasio, have blocked a longer-term agreement, though no serious proposals to abolish mayoral control and create a new governing structure for New York City schools have materialized. Short-term control of city schools has now become routine for Mayor de Blasio, who once hoped to secure a permanent extension but has won only one-year extensions for the past two years. The fight comes down to a 2002 law that dismantled the city's 32 local school boards, gave the mayor power to appoint a schools chancellor and create a centralized board to make education policy decisions.

New York City's proposed tobacco crackdown will likely make the city more dangerous
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has proposed series of measures to crackdown on tobacco use in the Big Apple. "There are 29 times more tobacco retailers in New York City than there are Starbucks," de Blasio said. In the summer of 2014, Eric Garner was choked to death by a New York City police officer while they were trying to arrest him. No one will say that opioid tobacco is healthy. Treating e-cigarettes the same as regular tobacco cigarettes doesn't make sense from a public health standpoint.
