More Spitzer

NYT today looks at education issues in the NY state gubernatorial race between Democrat Eliot Spitzer and Republican John Faso. Both support raising the cap on charter schools in the state and extending Mayor Michael Bloomberg's control over the NYC schools. But they disagree about how much more money the state should give to NYC schools in response to the CFE lawsuit. Spitzer wants to give NYC and other poor districts $8.5 billion more a year. Faso doesn't.
