[Summit] Marcus Mitchell

Anyone who thinks Buddy Cianci is a supporter of public education knows
nothing about the mess Cianci made of the schools when he was Mayor.

I too have concerns about corporate charter schools and the privatization
of public education, but remember that Buddy Cianci said on Newsmakers that
he wants every school in Providence to be a charter school.  Voting for
Cianci out of concern for public education makes no sense.
