So, mayoral control has no influence on test results, and New York's mayor is spending more money to get low scores! So why justify this practice of just blaming teachers? She says that mayors can at least be held responsible, but admits that it doesn't work!

I think that something else may be causing the problem. She indicates that poverty is one of the biggest factors leading to poor performance - heaven forbid you try to fix this, and create family situations that will provide kids a life that is at least slightly stable and nurturing.
