Dear Mayor,

I was glad to learn last night of your intention to disclose details of this supposed “settlement” of the Net School Spending issue regarding a “deal” you brokered with Lt. Gov. Polito and the DESE. In response to a question posed by LSC member, Ms. Carrasco, you promised to send her an email after today’s meeting with city CFO, Pete Caron. Without a doubt, I am sure my readers would love some details on how you saved the city from insolvency, all the while insured the mandated levels of educational spending required by state law so I am formally requesting a copy of that email. You can just cc me, you know put me on the email chain.

Perhaps at the same time you could explain to me under what authority Lt. Gov. Polito has to negotiate on behalf of the DESE since I am clearly not a smart lawyer like you. At the same time maybe you had better explain it to them as a comment last night from one of my readers last night indicates some confusion on their part.

The DESE posted the updated NSS compliance reports yesterday. 320 of 322 districts are reported and Lynn still is not one of them. My guess is if a resolution was reached and finalized, those figures would be posted.

I am sure you’ll be as prompt with responding to me as you always are. I look forward to being kept in the dark.

Sincerely,

Stan
