Here We Go Again

Here We Go Again
Pro-charter school outside groups in Buffalo trying to influence the election
to elect candidates they support. The Education Reform Now Coalition and
outside entity is leading the way with higly paid street canvassing, telephone calling,
disingenuous information about the other candidates. It's almost like an "Operation Rescue"
has come to town but focused on education. Vote, Tuesday, May 4, 2010.
