GOVERNOR CUOMO IDEA OF GIVING PRISONERS A FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION, IS PURE BONKERS; AND NOT SURPRISED WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT (WITH BLACK/PUERTO RICAN/HISPANIC GROUPS)...THAT IS HIS CORE AUDIENCE BECAUSE OF THEIR SOCIALIST VIEWS.

Why is a felon entitled to a free education while there are millions of people like me that rely on financial aide and whatever scholarships we can get, and swim in debt? And then I AM going to pay for it? You're an incompetent moron!

Fund students who have demonstrated academic excellence who really need it. They will be a benefit to society- not a drain on it.

There are many other New Yorkers who are good, law abiding citizens that cannot afford a college education. I'd rather see the funding going to them.

the taxpayers are the citizens who work hard to provide for their families and the governments continues to take their money to pay for other people who do nothing to deserve it. lets use taxpayer money to support the taxpayers for once, not convicted felons who are already getting shelter, clothes, showers, and meals for free.

Let's concentrate on giving FREE college courses to young men and women who haven't committed any crimes, the ones who are struggling to pay for college.

I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and a registered Dem who voted for Cuomo. I'm also a grad student saddled with thousands of dollars in debt. We desperately need reforms in our prisons and criminal justice system; and I support free education, but that should come first to law-abiding citizens and then to people in prisons. Until then, allow prisoners to earn money to pay for education like everyone else.

Dont know about anyone else but if I cant afford to send my own kids why the heck would I want to help a convicted felon who would probably continue his bad habits even with a degree. Its Ludicrous he is even asking us to do this.
