<p>Scott Stringer is raising money from people with ties to his one-time opponent, Eva Moskowitz, who lost the Manhattan borough presidents race to Stringer in 2005 and now runs a charter school Manhattan.</p>
<p>Stringer got $150 from the executive director of Democrats for Education Reform, Joe Williams. The group "only support[s] nonunion charter schools, bash[es] unions and get[s] subsidized by Wall Street hedge-fund managers," according to the <a href="http://www.uft.org/feature-stories/who-are-democrats-education-reform">teacher's union web site</a>.</p>
<p>A board member of the group also co-founded the charter school now run by Moskowitz, in Harlem.<!--more--></p>

<p>Stringer also got $2,000 from the president of a school organization that advocates for "longer days" and "higher expectations and increased pay in lieu of tenure." The organization, Green Dot Public Schools, headed by Gideon Stein, "is one of a handful of charter management organizations that has been able to create a climate of common trust with teachers unions," <a href="http://finschools.org/approach">Stein's web site says</a>.</p>

<p>Assemblyman Denny Farrell's legislative aide, Earnestine Temple, donated $60, as did Farrell's 2012 campaign, which gave $1,000.</p>
