Why? Oh, Why is Public Education the ONLY institution for which the 
Corporate Citizen and its apologists offer vouchers & choice.

IF the Schenectady Police Department fails the citizenry as they have 
over the past century, most recently instructed by Federal Courst to 
patrol along side State Police Officers until they came up to specs (a 
la *The StarLight Tour* -- taking miscreants out to the BoonDocks and 
leaving them w/o shoes in the country-side) OR if the street department 
fails me here in Utica, NY...

...Do I get to choose another police Department? or Street Department to 
pick up the services not rendered?

Be honest, Folks:   vouchers are a politcal hypocrisy to the core...    
No?   ;-} rap.
