Bloomberg Supports Ed Tax Credit

In his comments this week before the Joint State Fiscal Legislative Committees, Bloomberg said he not only supported lifting the cap on charter schools (old news) he seemed to come out in favor of the increasingly popular education tax credit.

Said Bloomy: "It’s important for us to look at all the options that will improve education for our students. And in that vein, I also look forward to working with the Governor and the Legislature to explore the proposed education tax credit in the Executive Budget. It’s something that the Legislature should consider."
