“just to make a clarification, I asked the city of New York to let me know how much it would cost just to count 1 million school children, and they said $5 to $10 a head. That is $5 to $10 million in New York City. In New York State it would be from $15 to $30 million. In California, where there are 5 million students, it would be $25 to $50 million just to count. Before a hearing, any court case, any cleaning up of the system, just to count the children, it would cost in California from $25 to $50 million.”
