I had breakfast with Tony Avella, NYC Councilman and mayoral candidate, at Donuts in Park Slope. and will be running my profile of him on Thursday.
I also got a press release from him saying he has accepted Bill Thompson’s call for a debate on education issues. I'll keep you posted on that.
“I
think it’s entirely appropriate to have an honest and open discussion
about our records and our plans on education,” Avella said. “Right now,
we’re teaching to the test, parents feel locked out of the system, and
teachers are afraid to blow the whistle on corrupt no-bid contracts.
We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

In the meantime, read my Breakfast-of-Candidates with City Comptroller and mayoral candidate, Bill Thompson.
