On Tuesday, Hillary gave a breakfast talk at the * South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corp., where she blasted the Bush administration for cutting community development programs and criticized school vouchers. Hillary is a longtime foe of vouchers (although she paid big bucks to send her daughter to attend the elite and exclusive Sidwell Friends school, proving that the public school system that is good enough for everyone else's kids isn't quite good enough for hers), and is strongly supported by the teachers unions.
SoBRO is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the revitalization of the South Bronx and nearby communities through various programs.
SoBRO was founded in 1972 by a group of elected officials, business executives, and community representatives. Their mission was urgent: reverse the flight of businesses and jobs from the South Bronx, as a first step toward rebuilding a community whose name evoked images of burned out buildings, crime, poverty, and drugs.
