| Boykin Curry, head of Prep Charter board with wife Celerie |
See
below; a pro-charter school press conference is hurriedly rescheduled today in the Bronx so the
Governor could make an appearance.
When has Cuomo ever appeared at a public school to call attention to the need
for more public education funding, to alleviate public school overcrowding or fix "crumbling
schools"? Never.
Could
his appearance on behalf of Girls Prep Charter in the Bronx be related to
the fact that the head of the charter school's board, Boykin Curry, gave
him more than $98,000 between 2009-2012? according to http://data.influenceexplorer.com
Or
the fact that in the last election cycle, Curry gave Cuomo an additional
$60,800 (the limit) according the spreadsheet compiled by Capital NY here: http://bit.ly/1vC7ZnR ?
Not
to mention Curry's wife Cecilia Kemble (sometimes known as Celerie) who gave Cuomo
$56,200 in the last election?
Or Bruce Kovner, on the Girls Prep advisory board, who gave him $45,000?
Nah.
