With Spitzer at Helm, Mayor Will Push for Charter Schools

The mayor's Albany lobbying office is in the final stages of hammering out its new agenda, and City Hall officials say its top two priorities are already decided: securing the maximum amount of education money from Mr. Spitzer and getting approval for more charter schools.
