we still have it actually and it's pretty bad, because it's based on property value in the district instead of student characteristics

so my district (53% of students economically disadvantaged, 27% ESL) sends 50% of its revenue to the state

Its essentially a massive wealth transfer from poor urban districts to poor rural districts.

Seems like a neo-liberal implementation of a good idea. The whole thing should be be based on per-student funding. An urban highschool has more students then a rural district and thus should get more funding. However "rich" high schools would be be funded the same as poor ones. If the policy doesn't accomplish that then New York dems sabotaged it from the get-go.

i spoke with Nicole Malliatokis's dem challenger (yes, she has one) the other day. apparently it's a badly-kept secret that she's a lesbian and she was spotted crying at an Albany bar after she voted against marriage equality for the second time

i don't remember his last name but his first name is Adam. he's a navy vet. he was at a South Brooklyn DSA meeting and he's trying to get PCCC's endorsement. he's pretty cool

With our state and our country facing constant threats from the Trump administration, Joe Crowley is on the frontlines fighting for all New Yorkers, Gillibrand said. A progressive leader, Joe and I have worked together to protect immigrant communities, fought to raise the minimum wage, and ensure that health care is a right for all Americans. We need Joe fighting for Queens and the Bronx in Congress.

Gillibrand is the junior senator new york deserves, righteously following in the footsteps of such titans of liberalism as Clinton, Schumer, and Rockefeller.

If anyone here supports Ocasio-Cortez against Crowley, Queens DSA is trying to do a bunch of record-research type twitter threads in the lead up to the election. Here's one from today, and I think there should be more coming in the new few days about other topics:

I remember (unfortunately) shaking Cuomo's hand in 2006 right outside the entrance to Penn Station when he was running for Attorney General. It was basically Hank Hill's handshake with George W. Bush.
