Report Card: Education Funding Roundup for Central New York
About a week ago I compared local candidates’ responses on education funding and then gave those candidates a grade. The grades ranged from F [no response] to A-.
Hey, it’s hard to be perfect with such a difficult, complex issue - and I don’t engage in grade inflation - but our area has a few candidates with great promise.
Here’s a rundown of links and grades:
- 24th Congressional District, Arcuri [C-] vs. Hanna [A-]
- 51st NY Senate District, Seward [A-] vs. Barber [D+]
- 49th NY Senate District, Valesky [C-] vs. DiStefano [F]
- 47th NY Senate District, Griffo [A-] vs. Boncella [F]
- 117th NY Assembly District, Butler [C] vs. Carter [F]
- 116th NY Assembly District, Destito [C-] vs. McDonald [F]
- 115th NY Assembly District, Townsend [C] vs. LeClair [B+]
Vote early, vote often, etc. etc.
