2018 NY Senate race: on Education


Scott Noren: National school voucher system for community college

We need to pay for community college nationally with a voucher system and therefore in some cases pay for all the college some people need and half of the degree for people needing a bachelor's degree and beyond. There are many fields where an Associate's degree is all one needs to excel in a job or small business. We also need to allow communities to have better control of how they teach their kids in school vs national 'cookie-cutter' programs that benefit billion dollar corporations.

Chele Farley: Keep donor tax money; use it on education and infrastructure

Farley, a partner at the equity firm Mistral Capital, launched her effort with a video that borrowed an argument recently deployed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo: New York State pays roughly more in federal taxes ($40 billion in 2016, she noted) than it gets back in federal aid--money, Farley said, that could be used to rebuild state infrastructure and boost education, among other things.
