An ad campaign in the Empire State has Timothy Cardinal Dolan of New York and a handful of Catholic school kids, some wearing sweaters from St. Mark’s School in Harlem, addressing Governor Andrew Cuomo directly. The issue? The governor’s apparent reneging on a promise to the state’s bishops to include in the state budget a tax credit to benefit all schools, Catholic and otherwise. Known as the Education Investment Tax Credit, the proposal lets people lower tax bills by donating to schools. Money to private schools could be used for scholarships for student who otherwise would find Catholic school education beyond their reach.
