I'm not against educating them but they need to take out loans like the rest of the productive citizens in this state. The loans should be interest free until one year after they are released. The only free education I would support are skilled trade programs.

Reward those who have done right their lives and want a college degree. Help those kids who can't afford college but want to move up in life. Don't make going to jail part of a scholarship application!

Rewarding criminal behavior? What about the law-abiding citizens who can't afford higher education?

I see my daughter still paying off student loans 4years after finishing grad school! What message does this send to our young people who follow rules and obey laws?

No free ride, pay your own way through college. Free students have to pay their own tuition

If college graduates with a clean record can't find jobs what's the chances of a convicted felon being hired anywhere.

I agree. Many of my neighbors cannot afford to send their children to college. Let's stop rewarding these prisoners. We cannot afford to help these people who do nothing to help themselves but instead are ruining this Country. I thank you for taking action against this rotten Governor.

Prisoners are in prison as a punishment. The should NOT get a free college education. Prisoners have no respect for the rules. They are in the wrong. There is no need to reward bad behavior while law-abiding folks pay for keeping them in comfort while paying their own bills and taking care of their children's education.

No! Let's take care of those that respect the rules of society. These criminals have wronged society - we do not reward bad behavior and have the law-abiding citizens pay for the criminals and their own bills! Where is the justice in that?

We are consitantly spoon feeding people that do not want to do for them self. This type of gob=vernment has to be stopped. I am tired of working 3 and 4 jobs to makes ends meet while most get to sit back and receive more and more FREE for sitting home doing nothing. Thank you OBAMA = Can't wait until we are done with you - sorry Hilary I would love to have you but the democrats have to go. They give way too much away FREE and expect the Middle class making 60,000 a year to pay for it all. I am so DONE with this type of governing

Totally against this - i have two boys in college. One is 80 thousand dollars in student loan debt. The other who is only in his second year of college is already 90 thousand in student loan debt. We do not qualify for any financial aid, both myself and my husband work and make to much money
