A Tough Battle

Posted

We can and must do a lot more to get the Educational Investment Incentives Act passed. Every one of us can call his or her Assembly member at (518) 455-4100 and ask him or her to co-sponsor the Educational Investment Incentives Act, bill number A2551. If you don’t know your Assembly member’s name, they will find it for you based on your address. The Assembly Speaker, Carl Heastie, says that he will not permit a vote on the bill until there are 76 Democrat members co-sponsoring it. This is, of course, unfair and undemocratic, but let’s take Heastie up on it. Call now!

In addition, every Catholic school should picket any Assembly member representing their students who is not a co-sponsor. The teachers unions are fighting hard to make their near monopoly complete. We need to fight harder. It will take a major effort to win this battle, but it’s one we must win for our children and ourselves as taxpayers.
