See
below; charter school presser hurriedly rescheduled today in the Bronx
so the Governor could make an appearance and call for expansion of
charters. When has Cuomo ever appeared at a public school to call
attention to the need for more funding, to alleviate overcrowding or fix
"crumbling schools"? Never.
Could
his appearance on behalf of Girls Prep Charter in the Bronx be related
to the fact that the head of the charter school's board,
Boykin Curry, gave him more than $98,000 between 2009-2012 according
to http://data.influenceexplorer.
Or
the fact that in the last election cycle, Curry gave Cuomo an
additional $60,800 (the limit) according the spreadsheet compiled by
Capital NY here: http://bit.ly/1vC7ZnR
Not
to mention his wife Cecilia Kemble (sometimes known as Celerie) who
gave Cuomo $56,200, in the last election, according to the same
spreadsheet? Or Bruce Kovner, on the advisory board and a supporter of
Girls Prep Charter, who gave him $45,000?
Nah.
