Thank you mr grisanti for providing this medium for us to voice our dissention to coumo's proposal to give the tax-payers money away to thugs. I'm sorry to say this but he is giving all politicians a bad mane. You guys as a group look like idiots! you are all guilty by association and I suggest that if any one in albany has an idea they would like to share... that they run it by all of you first. this way they don't look like total buffoons. When is coumo's term up? He's an idiot to the N th degree. Thanks for listening.

We need all our Federal and Stae representatives to band together and support all of us. This is not a governor this is a dangerous Dictator who is destroying this state. Mental health has become a scary issue. we will all have to move out of state if he continues.

How is this fair to middle class families. My children went to SUNY schools and I owe $40,000 in Parent Loans.

Apparently the only way to get any help in this state is to break the law.

My mistake was working fulltime and take 1-2 college courses each semester until I finished my degree. Yes, I got my degree with no student debt, but I sacrificed a lot of time and money during those years of paying for courses on top of all the regular bills. My "lifetime income" was also lower than it would have been if I had been able to go to college fulltime, get the degree and start my degree-related career sooner. My other mistake was encouraging my son to earn high grades and combine scholarships, grants and student loans to go college right after high school. It appears that Mr. Cuomo does not value personal responsibility and initiative. Where do my son and I send our bills for reimbursement of our $5000 for each of the semesters of college coursework we completed?

Help me pay off my loans and create a career for me before you give citizens who aren't law abiding education. This makes me sick to my stomach !

Your kidding me right?? Actually I wish this was a joke right now! I am a hard working, law abiding citizen and I can't even go back to college because I can't afford to not work and besides I would have to pay back student loans! This makes me sick! Enough is enough! Your rewarding criminals and punishing the working people who actually make the world go round! Think about it!!
