Rochester school forums delayed until bill is drafted | democratandchronicle.com | Democrat and Chronicle:

"As protests against mayoral control of the City School District continued Friday, Rochester Mayor Robert Duffy announced that the first two of the four public forums on school governance have been postponed.

The forums have been postponed, Duffy said, because Gov. David Paterson's staff has not completed writing the draft legislation.

'While they are working diligently on this, it is clearly not yet finished and we do not have a firm date when the draft legislation will be ready to take to the people,' Duffy said in a statement. 'I do not want to bring together gatherings of people and not have answers to their questions.'"
