Public losing patience with Cathie Black Mayor Bloomberg defends embattled Chancellor

Chancellor Cathie Black is becoming a persona non grata if the Panel for Education Policy (PEP) meeting Thursday night is any sign of her status after an audience numbering over 2000, booed and heckled her mercilessly at the hearing on schools closings. Mayor Bloomberg  defended Black called the heckling a blood sport , saying "if we want to attract good people to come and work for the public, you don't do this..."  The problem is Cathie Black is not viewed as "good People," while Bloomberg persists in believing she can continue to govern without the consent of the governed.
