Update: Pro-Voucher Mayors, Current And Former

Support for private school vouchers (usually with conditions) isn't as unusual as you may think.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker reminded us last week before imploding over private capital that he's one of the small but growing number of Democratic leaders who's pro-voucher in one way or another.

According to Friedman Foundation folks, Antonio Villaraigosa (LA), John Hinkenlooper  (Denver), Greg Stanton  (Phoenix).  Others?  Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.   

Former electeds include Anthony Williams, Adrien Fenty, Bill Finch, John Nordquist, Rudy Giuliani, Kurt Schmoke, Norm Coleman, and Andrew Young.

Let's hope you saved some room on that list of "former electeds".

Hopefully the conditions are strict. Private schools are fine, politically-funded ones... I’m not convinced so much.
