He plans to introduce a resolution next month calling for homework in public
schools to be limited to 2 1/2 hours a night and said he wants the Department of
Education to create a weekly homework-free night.
Vallone is on quite a streak lately. Within the last few months, he has announced plans to increase fines associated with dog fighting (on the back of the Michael Vick scandal and despite the fact that New York City has no known dog fighting problem, according to the ASPCA) and strengthen laws against looking at women.
Bloomberg responded to Vallone's ridiculous homework proposal with pretty much the best line in politics this year:
"I suspect if you're running for eighth grade class president, less
homework is a good campaign platform to work with."
In Vallone's defense, I ran for student body VP on a platform of "A Pretzel Machine in Every Cafeteria." This idea seems marginally better than that.

Bloomburg raises a good point. Just who the fuck does Vallone think is voting for him? 14 year olds? Dogs?
Its an untapped market, constituency-wise
