Of course he is, the little weasel:
ALBANY—Governor Andrew Cuomo will headline an education retreat next month in Lake Placid hosted by hedge-fund managers who support the Common Core standards, charter schools, mayoral control of schools, testing and student-data collection.
Cuomo is the “honorary chairman” of Camp Philos, “a philosopher’s camp on education reform” presented by Education Reform Now, a group that has donated $65,000 to Cuomo since 2010 through its political action committee. The group, led by hedge funders who are active in the charter-school movement, is hosting the conference at Whiteface Lodge on May 4 to 6.
Hey, no need to insult weasels. They at least eat vermin. Andy is vermin.
Cuomo is in bed with Christie.
‘Nuf sed.
Obviously they are in it this for some sort of grift. But it just sounds so strange that hedgefund managers might have some altruistic concern for school reform. Sort of like, if Dick Cheney were taking a bunch of innercity black kids or muslim refugees out to the fresh country air for a friendly pheasant shoot.
They get a 300% tax credit after 10 years for any money they spend on school “reform”. That’s quite a return, and it’s guaranteed by the feds.
I don’t understand how he can be Mario Cuomo’s son. And, for that matter, the god-awful Chris Cuomo on CNN.
