If this goes through, I have a new plan for our three kids. Forget trying to save up for them and have them pay their lives away in loans, I'm just going to make sure they land in jail to pay for college!

This is outrageous! There are people struggling to pay for their children to get an education and young adults going in debt to secure a better future!

Taxpayers should NOT have to pay for free college for inmates. There are soooo many people paying off school loans,and there is no help for them

Why reward the bad guys? THey already had an equal chance to attend school on the publics dollar--it's called public education. Higher education. . should go towards the struggling parents and our own kids. Not willing criminals.

It'll be a cold day in hell before some convicted prisoner gets more rights than those who manage to stay out of trouble.

Yeah, let's strip the budget for public education (via an unconstitutional 2% tax cap an cuts in State Aid) and pay for the education of convicted felons. This defies logic even for this Governor.

I am struggling to put two kids through college. One has been looking for work for 6 months, with no employment from last full time job because he quit a part time job to work full time. Then he was laid off. NYS government doesn't have a clue.
