And here in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo has unveiled a new plan to make public colleges and universities tuition-free for families earning $125,000 or less a year. Cuomo announced the plan alongside Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on Tuesday.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: “The average college debt: $30,000 per student. Just think about that. And half the student debt in New York is higher than $30,000. That is not fair. That is not right. And New York state—New York state is going to do something about it.”
