Booker Seeks Vouchers, Says He Could Best Bloomberg on Schools

Submitted by John Furner, Apr 7, 2007 22:51

Corey Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, is an enthusiastic leader and has proven ability to succeed. Let's hope the community gets behind him and improves the lot of many Afro-American and other disadvantaged children in the community. Corey Booker is living his ideals by choosing to live in conditions that many disadvantaged families in the city of Newark have to endure, such as no hot water or similar disadvantages.

It would be wonderful if Corey Booker can get the support of the whole community of Newark, for his education reforms and control of crime. John Furner, Australia.
