And in that budget he even wants to increase the tuition for five years on CUNY and SUNY students, $300 a year. In that budget he's only talking about $25 million for poverty ... $25 million. In that budget, even though campaign for fiscal equality is owed $4.4 billion dollars, he proposes $266 million. Last year there was $75 million for struggling schools. Now we're calling them community schools, which is a good thing. He proposes $100 million for 144 schools. Last year it was only 75 schools … 21 schools for $75 million. So no question in my mind, that this governor has to be out of his mind to present something like that to us and think we're not going to adjust it and do some things,"Assemblyman Barron said while voting against the Assembly Budget Proposal. <a href=\"http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&bn=E01047&term=2015&Summary=Y&Memo=Y&Text=Y\">(E.1047)</a><br /> ',
