So this plan tells me I should have broken the law and went to jail for three meals a day, cable tv, and unlimited liesure time instead of working two jobs to pay for my college degree. This legislation is an insult to anyone who pays taxes in the state of New York.

Why isn"t this offered to the families that obey the law and support the state? We pay the taxes and the criminals are reaping the benefits. So crime DOES pay!!!

i understand the reasoning but still do not find this appropirate. My child has not commited a crime and probably will have to pay for most of her education herself.

I paid for it, my kids paid for it and Cuomo wants to give lawbreakers a free ride? My daughter can't even get student aid and will come out of college deep in debt. Unless there is equal compensation for everyone, no thanks. One of the more ludicrous ideas to come up in a while.

By providing criminals with free higher education, you're sending the message that you are willing to reward those who choose to willingly disobey the accepted rules of society.
I dont think we should do this
HELL NO !!!
