Foley on the budget

says that "this only confirms that Ms. Hargrove is the smartest person in the room here tonight" (referring to her not running for re-election)
Jokes that he liked the earlier meetings "as at least then we had heat"

Stimulus dollars: that's why we did not have cuts last January (of $19 million)

Foley asks Allen:
For Fy10, how much are we spending on charters? $21 million goes to charters; $4 million of that comes from the state. $2.5 million for any new charter school in the city
charters would cripple the further

City contribution declined by $3.1 million (recalculation of spending, and recalculation of foundation)

Foley suggests that looking at the transportation contract (up for renewal next year)
