Those are federal tax dollars, CUNY, not state tax dollars. They are funds to be used to improve school facilities to make them covid-compliant for the benefit of future years of students. Not for white-savior pet projects that benefit only a few, or to exploit to avoid eating bad loans your students default on. For a city that whines every year their schoools are in bad shape, it's a poor use of funding. If there are excess funds, return them to the feds.

What a great use if federal taxpayer money!!!!

Although wouldn’t it be better spent on buying new uniforms for their sports teams and putting up some solid silver statues to George Floyd and Governor Cuomo?

These aren’t taxpayer dollars. These are printed dollars from the Federal Reserve. If there is a silver lining it is that everyone in the US, including illegals and other foreign invaders, is getting destroyed financially by the increasingly worthless currency and the Bidinflation. Truly just rearranging deck chairs and lifeboat positions on the Titanic.

Theft by government.

Who cares about National Fiscal health??? -— I got MINE!!!

You can bet that’s the attitude over there today.

So...the students getting degrees in gender studies, etc, will wind up paying exactly what their degree is worth? Zero?

Those loan dollars went to the Universities who obscenely ramped up the cost of education. Those same universities who sit on millions of dollars of endowments. Absolutely, if anyone forgives student loans it must be the offending universities who have ripped off both the US taxpayers and student.

There should be a law that mandates Federal dollars allocated to a specific program are spent on the specific program exclusively. Second, mandate a sunset of the program funds- any surplus must be returned to the Federal Gov’t by a specific time. Third, a person admistering the funds and/or the State Governor is personally responsible for ensuring funds are managed as such, and subject to criminal prosecution. I’m good with capital punishment in that scenario.

As it stands, funds that were argued and voted into law seem to be used for any ourpose with no one accountable.

Funds will be distributed to those whose voter registration has a “D” in the party affiliation line.

What a bunch of a-holes. That’s the nicest thing I can say!
