Gov. Cuomo raked in $450,000 in Buffalo at fundraiser, while talking about campaign finance reform

"Nothing says Reform like a $50,000 a plate contribution to a governor whose portfolio contains oil and gas holdings while he contemplates the expansion of hydrofracking. It's almost as comical as his Education Reform plan where the top two appointees to NYSED boast a whopping 3 years of combined classroom experience. Or the "state assessments" recycled and sold to NY for $32 million by Pearson (said by many to be his main donors for the 2016 campaign) none of which was without errors, including the infamous Pineapple section that was thrown out in its entirety. I hope the 450K he squeegied out of Buffalo's Brahmin yesterday is enough to cover the gap Cuomo will have come 2016 when he comes looking for a dime from organized labor whom he's thrown uner the bus and backed up over several times. Don't sell the NY condo just yet Governor." SEAN CROWLEY, EDEN, NY on Thu May 3, 2012 , Buffalo News comment.

I am one of the few Schomburg scholars today lecturing on his Puerto Rican heritage, and his contributions to the history of American education and black intellectual history.
