State budget boosts school aid yet weighs teachers
New York approves a 2015-16 budget ending a lengthy process tied to education reform and ethics. While education aid rises about 1.3 billion to 23.05 billion and library funding gains 5 million to 91.6 million, critics argue that tying raises to a testing based teacher evaluation system is unfair. The plan restores 603 million in GEA affected aid, benefiting low-wealth rural districts, with continued focus on library expansion and overall controlled spending.

He cites Clinton's steady lead but growing discontent, O'Malley's shift to candidacy, and three factors driving a potential insurgency including a sizable anti-Clinton faction, history of challenges, and media appetite for a race.
