It's been nearly a week since Mayor Bloomberg invoked Neville Chamberlain in his ongoing feud with the State Senate. Albany lawmakers were infuriated by the comments, but now they say they've moved on, sort of.

"We forgive him for the statements that he made. But we don't forgive the state of mind that they came out of," said State Senator Carl Kruger.

Democrats are still annoyed with the mayor for saying last week that the time for negotiating a new mayoral control bill is over.

Joined by a group of parents on Thursday, they blasted Bloomberg, accusing him of not giving parents a say in the way city schools are run.

"Mayor Bloomberg hates parents. It's unbelievable how much disdain he has for parents," said State Senator Eric Adams.

Lawmakers say they won't address school governance until the mayor takes their suggestions on how to make the system more user friendly.

"What we have today is an out of control administration," said Kruger.

Bloomberg's office refused to comment Thursday on the latest onslaught of attacks.

This week, the administration has seen its education record ripped apart by Democrats.

Earlier this week, the mayor's Democratic rival, City Comptroller William Thompson, questioned the graduation rate.

Meanwhile, in a sign that the battle of mayoral control could drag out, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer says the new Board of Education needs to be strengthened.

The mayor's office disagrees, saying it expects the dispute to be resolved soon.

In the meantime, State Senator Hiram Monserrate says negotiations are underway.

"We've had discussions with the deputy mayor. We've had discussions with different members of his staff," Monserrate said. "Those discussions are more invigorated.

State Senators are hoping to pass a bill in September, but say it is still too early to speculate the outcome.
