Cynthia Nixon: Bring back the governor I voted for
By Richard Moody
An Emmy Award winning actress is calling for the return of the governor she voted for – the one who said inequity in education funding and failing schools is the prevailing civil rights issue of our time.
Cynthia Nixon, best known for known for her role in the TV show "Sex and the City," joined lawmakers, school officials and members of the Alliance for Quality Education to ask Gov. Andrew Cuomo to lead again in the push for equitable funding for public schools.
Nixon quoted Cuomo from 2010, when he was running for office. Cuomo said "I think the inequity in education is probably the civil rights issue of our time."
"This is not the Andrew Cuomo I voted for, and I voted for him. I voted for the Andrew Cuomo who said education inequality is the greatest civil rights issue facing us and how it's the state's responsibility to fix it," Nixon said. "I want him back. We need him back. The students of New York state need that student lobbyist he promised to be."
