The UFT launched a television ad campaign today urging Mayor Bloomberg to protect teachers and schools, not millionaires.
The 30-second spot will air through Feb. 22 on local broadcast stations as well as cable television networks in the New York metropolitan area.
The ad opens with an image of Bloomberg next to a snow globe. "Mayor Bloomberg sees things differently than the rest of us," the narrator says. "Our schools are short of money, yet he refuses to ask millionaires to pay their fair share." The spot goes on to implore the mayor to focus on stopping layoffs: "He says class size doesn't matter. And talks more about who will get laid off than trying to stop teacher layoffs altogether."
Instead of making his No. 1 priority attacking teachers, the mayor should join our effort to extend the millionaire's tax to add several billion dollars to the state budget, eliminating any possibility of layoffs.

Sincerely,
Michael Mulgrew
