When Bloomberg appointed Cathie Black as NYC Chancellor, most people in New York City believed that this was a total disaster. And, it turned out to be with her resignation a few months later. A judge on November 23, 2011 ordered New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office to release emails between mayoral officials and former schools chancellor Cathleen Black, who resigned last April after a controversial three months in office. Journalist Sergio Hernandez, who at the time was working for the Village Voice, requested the documents on Nov. 19, 2010, approximately 10 days after Bloomberg announced that Black would replace longtime chancellor Joel Klein, according to court documents.
