Breaking The Partisan Mold
Brighter Choice Charter School's Tom Carroll argues in the New York Sun this morning that Eliot Spitzer could be the guy to break the partisan mold on education reform. Writes Carroll:Over the past year, Mr. Spitzer has been speaking much more boldly about education reform than any other major figure in his party. Mr. Spitzer favors raising the existing cap on the number of charter schools (currently frozen at 100), supports an education tax credit to help defray expenditures for tuition and other education-related expenses, and has talked about linking a settlement of the Court of Appeals decision in the Campaign for Fiscal Equity case with reforms that change how education is delivered in the state. (In Mr. Spitzer's words: "If we don't pair the resolution of this litigation with an effort to change the delivery system, then we will have missed an opportunity.")
UPDATE: The NY Times looks at the governor's race here.
