Cuomo, a centrist Democrat who is rumored to have presidential aspirations of his own, announced a plan that would make attending a state or city university in New York, including two-year programs, free for New Yorkers whose families earn $125,000 or less per year. "College is a mandatory step if you really want to be a success," Cuomo said Tuesday, as The Washington Post reported.
