B’klyn pol for Nixon

Cynthia Nixon landed another endorsement Thursday in her gubernatorial bid — this one coming from a Brooklyn city councilman.

“Politics as usual is not getting it done,” Councilman Antonio Reynoso said at his old junior high school, JHS 50 John D. Wells.

Reynoso said the Williamsburg community school, which is linked up with social services for families, was owed $500,000 in state foundation aid.

Nixon vowed to fix that, saying, “When I am governor, we will fully fund our schools.”

She said the state’s widely unequal education offered two types of preparation, college readiness for affluent white students and the criminal justice system for poor minority students.

“Our children need schools, not jails,” she said.

Nixon plans to create 500 community schools around the state, which she said will be funded with $200 million a year through taxes on the state’s wealthiest residents and a reversal of “corporate tax cuts.” She’s also proposing a $50 million grant to schools with high suspension or arrest rates that can take steps to shut down the so-called “school to prison pipeline.”

Reynoso’s support is the 20th endorsement for Nixon in the last two weeks. Another Democrat on the City Council, Jimmy Van Bramer of Queens, endorsed her last week.
