Elected officials are so concerned about corruption charges involving the main union representing New York City school bus drivers that they are asking the union's parent to hold hearings on how the local organization is being run. The lawmakers say that public hearings are needed because little has changed at the union since last July when its top three officials were indicted on charges that they were under the influence of the Genovese crime family.
