20. Governor Paterson and some members of the State Senate support a proposal to allow colleges and universities that are part of the State University of New York - SUNY - and the City University of New
York - CUNY - to have more flexibility on how campuses operate, including how much tuition they charge, as opposed to the current system where tuition rates and other decisions are set by state
government. Do you strongly support, support, oppose, or strongly oppose the proposal to provide public colleges and universities with more flexibility, including the ability to set their own tuition rates?

22. Supporters of the proposed community center, known as the Cordoba House, say it would demonstrate the presence of moderate Muslims in New York as well as serve as a monument to religious

you think they both have a legitimate position?
