Cantor knocks de Blasio, praises Cuomo on charters
Reid Pillifant

Republican House majority leader Eric Cantor praised Andrew Cuomo on the floor of the House on Friday, citing the governor's intervention on behalf of the city's charter schools in a debate about a national charter-school bill.

"In New York City, the mayor there, Bill de Blasio, recently attempted to deliver on his threat to kick public charter schools out of the space that they share, or were planning to share, with other traditional public schools," said Cantor, who has previously used de Blasio as a foil in making his case for charters. "This kind of activity completely undermines the essence of education reform."

Cuomo intervened on behalf of Eva Moskowitz's Success Academy after the de Blasio administration announced it would rescind three co-location plans that were originally authorized under former mayor Michael Bloomberg. At Cuomo's urging, the state budget passed last month included protections for charter co-locations, and de Blasio recently announced it had found new space for Success students in Catholic schools.
