This is the most unfair plan I have ever heard. People who do the right thing, get student loans, put in the work in college and have to pay back that money are being slapped in the face. I am a social worker and am struggling to pay my loans back. This makes me want to default on my loans but if I did that, my professional license might be taken. How fair is this? Not at all.

This is so wrong and not fair to students who have to repay student loans for many yrs after they graduate!!!

I think it's absolutely absurd that some of our politicians want to give prisoners free college education. My sons are still in debt for their college education. Let the government help out them and law abiding citizens!!!

Why don't they award $5,000 to someone who has stayed out of trouble? Why are rewarding bad behavior in this society?

I am currently working on a masters degree and will graduate with over 150,000$ in loans. I have had to work many hours while going to school full time like so many other middle class people. This bill makes me sick!

This governor is out of control. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing to curry the moderate vote. Now he has once again pulled back the wool. Please NY, don't elect this lunatic again.

What about the hard working clean people on the outside that can't afford to go to college? I'd rather find a way to help them!!!!!

I do not believe the way it is presented is feasable, it should not be done

This is the most discouraging and outpacing thing I've seen in a while. while I work 3 jobs and go to school full time I am become thousands in debt becuase I make to much for financial aid but now if i commit a crime and go to jail it will be free. this is just ridiculous.
