"ALBANY - City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein went to state lawmakers Tuesday looking for help with a billion-dollar budget deficit - but he came away with a scolding.
Klein was roasted by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger (D-Brooklyn) for ignoring the concerns of parents and lawmakers and treating them as 'annoyances.'
'You come to us for money, but you don't come to us for involvement,' Kruger said.
Kruger also referred to Klein's tenure as 'nine years of torture, nine years of acrimony, nine years of nail biting and hand twisting.'"
