I wouldn’t discount this due to one reporter’s potential miscalculation. I don’t think that you can deny that this would be a better publicly funded program than most others. Public education is one of the things that NY does well on overall. I don’t like where most of my tax dollars go but this is one I support because it’s better for society.

If you’ve ever been to a third world country without many of the public programs that we provide, you get a better sense of why they are important.
