Numerous studies have shown that many of the most successful, prosperous, and vibrant cities in America are also among the best-educated. While this correlation may not necessarily infer causation - after all, it is entirely likely that educated people are drawn to more vibrant cities - there is little doubt that a rising education level can only have a favorable impact on a municipality's future.
This fact can certainly be examined in light of our local situation. When we consider the revitalization of Buffalo, we undoubtedly are looking for ways to strengthen our city's core industries and make them more competitive and profitable in a globalized world. And there is no better way to do this than by insuring a more educated populace and worker base.
For many Americans and Buffalonians, however, the cost of getting an education is an increasingly expensive and unattainable one. With
