Interested in seeing the statistics of families making less than $100K in NY State who actually have kids going to university. It's probably not that large a number, all things considered.
Also, according to WAPO, this plan LEAST benefits the people who already receive the most aid, aka the poor.
Excerpt from WAPO article:

. But buried in the fine print of the $163 million plan are significant benefits to upper-middle-income families — those making up to $125,000 per year — while the plan does nothing for low-income students, for whom existing grant aid already covers tuition.
Sanders and Clinton proposed eliminating tuition while letting students keep their existing grant aid, such as the Pell grants received by low-income students. But Cuomo has proposed only covering the difference between tuition and students’ existing aid, meaning that those who get the most aid benefit the least from the proposal.

I can't imagine what poor looks like there now. I think the average NY police officer with about 5-8 years experience makes $110K.
