Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum said, "A ‘promise’ of mayoral control was that it would lead to greater interagency collaboration to benefit our schools. Over the past seven years this mayor has developed more commercial, residential and sports facilities than any mayor in recent his tory, but failed to ensure that there were enough schools being built. It’s a shame that this mayor hasn’t compelled developers, with all the tax subsidies they’ve received, to build more schools throughout the city."
