VOTE-COPE has donated a combined $147,100 to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s PAC and campaigns since 2017.
“The NYSUT has done well keeping the Assembly speaker and Stewart-Cousins happy, so I really don’t see either of them sticking their necks out on this fight and biting the hand that feeds them,” according to a top Democratic operative.
Stewart-Cousins and Heastie have long received donations from the anti-charter school state teachers union.Since Hochul earlier this month proposed creating more space for charter schools in the city, both Heastie and Stewart-Cousins have repeatedly sidestepped questions on whether they’ll use their clout to help the governor get her plan approved in next fiscal year’s budget — let alone to the floor for a vote.
Instead, they’ve shifted attention to lefty legislators in Albany – many who’ve also been heavily funded with union donations — who oppose the plan. “The Assembly’s stance has been to deal with traditional public schools, and we’ll go from there,” Heastie told reporters Feb. 7 in Albany. “Our main focus is to deal with that.”
Andrea Stewart-Cousins greets Carl Heastie after he delivered a speech to supporters at a labor breakfast event during the November SOMOS conference in San Juan.
