Fox New Excerpt:
New York Assembly Democrats on Tuesday blocked a bill that proposed expanding college tuition aid for children of deceased and disabled military veterans after-- having a week earlier-- approved a state budget that set aside $27 million in college tuition aid for illegal immigrants.

The Assembly?s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 on Tuesday to shelve the bill, effectively quashing its chances of going to the floor, the Post-Standard reported.

The decision came after committee chair Deborah Glick, D-Manhattan, and Speaker Carl Heastie said $27 million from the state?s budget would go towards supporting the Jose Peralta New York State DREAM Act, which allows illegal immigrants to qualify for state aid for higher education, Newsweek reported.

Glick said any expansion of college tuition aid to Gold Star families was not within the state's budget and pointed to an already-existing program that provides $2.7 million to 145 students who are dependents of vets who served in combat zones, the New York Post reported.

NY D's are sick puppies.  They may be US citizens but they are not Americans by any stretch of the imagination.  They put party over people and manipulate people to stay in power.  They are the new Nazi's.  Damn them.

Rastus, Just be glad that you don't live here, Upstate NY'ers are paying for a lot of NYcities mass transit, the city used eminent domain to seize property to build reservoirs up here to supply the city with water, plus a multitude of oppressive taxes that all go to the city. It's not possible for many of us to leave the state as much as I would like to. I would take a loss on the value of my house among other reasons.We can only hope the next election cycle will bring forth the change to make this state a better place to work and live in.

I sure hope you guys get some relief up there.

I was in NYC for the first time ever in February.  I could detect a sewer smell...I suspect it only grows worse with warm weather.

A very good example of why the Electoral College is required.  You are being "ruled" by the populous NYC and used to their advantage.

That is exactly what would happen across the nation were the Electoral College be abolished.
