The article critiques New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, for their opposition to President Trump's proposed cuts to the federal Department of Education. They argue that such cuts would harm local school funding, jeopardizing $5.5 billion annually for New York. However, the article posits that the state's substantial education budget, much of which is wasted, should be scrutinized instead of blaming Trump. The authors suggest that the leaders' commitments to teachers' unions hinder necessary budget reforms, ultimately passing costs onto average families.
Hochul's complaints about potential cuts to the Department of Education funding mask a deeper issue; New York has the opportunity to cut waste within its own budget instead.
Rather than finding savings where they can, Hochul and her fellow Democrats appear more concerned with preserving union interests. Therefore, everyday New Yorkers face financial strain.
