The Daily Politics - NY Daily News:

"Bill Thompson's campaign is responding to a new TV ad from Mayor Bloomberg that continues to slam his Democratic opponent's tenure as Board of Education president.

I have yet to see the ad, but Thompson spokeswoman Carly Lindauer helpfully provided the script that appears below along with the following comment:

'Republican Mike Bloomberg has gone negative - setting the tone and direction for his campaign. He’s inundating the airwaves and filling the mailboxes of New Yorkers with false claims about Bill Thompson’s record. It’s unfortunate that a two-term incumbent mayor feels he needs to stoop so low.'

The mailer to which Lindauer is referring hit New York City mailboxes last week (right around primary day), and also focused on education. DN City Hall Bureau Chief Adam Lisberg dissected the piece and found some its claims were a bit on the fuzzy side."
