Governor Cuomo has been pushing his new Opportunity Agenda
to help make New York State a brighter, but more affordable place to live.
Cuomo promises to push for property tax cuts, raise minimum wage statewide and
also help college students financially. The Governor wants to raise wages up to
$10.50, as he believes that if you work fulltime, and are making minimum wage,
you should still be able to live a well rounded life and not in poverty. Also in
Cuomo’s Opportunity agenda and state budget, the governor pushes for higher
spending in education. Cuomo wants to help college students with their post
degree debt, which may limit some people to a financially stable life. The plan
is for New York State to help pay for the first two years of college debt so
students can start off on the right foot after graduating. Another big push for
Governor Cuomo would come from community colleges working with employers to
help teach the specific skills to obtain certain jobs. Many employers higher
workers that are required to have certain school experience in the classroom
that community colleges do not offer. Cuomo’s push for higher education wants
to change this. Instead of students taking pointless classes that they have to
pay for which can be a waste, he wants schools to create programs that
employers agree on that would be beneficial to the student and the company or
field of work they may be interested. Not only just for community colleges but
the Governor wants to push for the “Unnecessary classes” to be a thing in the
past.
