There was an apparent consensus that it wouldn't be covered. So only the original NY Post reporter covered it ( a total of twice... near as I can tell) and then as if by mutual agreement it seemed to be declared off-limits. Only a handful of bloggers went near it after that.

Perhaps the above is the price we have to pay. Part of the arrangement? Who knows. But that's the only scenario that makes any sense.

He runs again in two years. Doesn't seem to matter. The UFT/AFT is set-up to reelect the ruling caucus nominee. Ms Weingarten was just reelected w. 97% of the vote.
