		<description>[...] For many of those seeking more money for schools, the new ruling presents a clear disappointment. If the money is phased in over three to four years &#8212; something the court did not preclude &#8212; the total figure &#8220;would be much closer to the amounts by which the state and city have been increasing school funding in recent years anyway,&#8221; wrote David Shaffer of the Business Council of New York State.

		<description>Whether $2 billion is enough depends on spending in the rest of the state.  If if falls, then perhaps.

But if NYC residents continue to have to pay more state taxes to fund &quot;property tax relief&quot; to offset the high and rising level of spending elsewhere, and the gap between NYC funding and that of the rest of the state increases, then no, it isn&#039;t enough.
