THE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THE

CONTROVERSY IS BECOMING PART OF

THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM TO FOSTER

DIALOGUE.> MAYOR DEBLASIO

TRAVEL TO ALBANY TODAY WHERE

LAWMAKERS TURNED HIS BUDGET

HEARING INTO A FIERY SHOWDOWN.

CBS2'S MARCIA KRAMER WAS THERE

AS THE MAYOR DEFENDED HIMSELF

AGAINST QUESTIONS SURROUNDING

HIS PERFORMANCE. Reporter:

XOXOX ALL AROUND.

MAYOR DEBLASIO WAS THERE.

IT DID NOT TAKE LONG BEFORE HE

FOUND HIMSELF ON THE ROPES. A

SHOULD BE OF GREAT CONCERN TO

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS

ROOM.

THE $11 MILLION THAT YOU ARE

ASKING THE TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR

REPRESENTATION. Reporter:

TERRENCE MURPHY QUESTIONED WHY

THE MAYOR DESERVES AN EXTENSION

OF CONTROL OF THE SCHOOLS.

I FIND THIS ASTONISHING WITH

EVERYONE GOING ON WITH YOU AND

YOUR DEMONSTRATION.

WE HANDLE ALL MATTERS OF

GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATELY.

THE TRUST FACTOR IS

SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY IN

THIS ROOM AND EVERYONE IN NEW

YORK STATION BE WORRIED

ABOUT. Reporter: LAWMAKERS

QUESTIONED THE MAYOR ABOUT A

NUMBER OF HIS ADMINISTRATION'S

SHORTCOMINGS FROM THE HOMELESS

TO CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES,

TO FEARS OF REDUCED FEDERAL AID

BECAUSE OF HIS STANCE ON

CENTURY CITIES.

FOR HIS PART, THE MAYOR ASKED

HIM TO APPROVE A NEW MANSION

TAX, A 2.5% TAX ON THE SALE OF

CONDOS, CO-OPS AND HOMES VALUED

AT OVER $2 MILLION.

IT RAISES $336 MILLION.

THE REVENUE WOULD BE USED TO

KEEP 25,000 SENIOR CITIZENS IN

THEIR HOME AT AN AFFORDABLE

LEVEL.

Reporter: BROOKLYNN SENATORS

WERE OUTRAGED THAT THE MAYOR

WOULD PROPOSE A MANSION TAX

WHILE REFUSING TO BACK OFF A

FIVE CENT TAX ON PLASTIC BAGS

WHICH HE SAYS PUNISHES POOR NEW

YORKERS.

WE ARE NOT TAKING A NICKEL

AND PUTTING IT TO PROTECT THE

ENVIRONMENT.

WE ARE GIVING THE STOREOWNERS

ANOTHER NICKEL PROFIT.

Reporter: THE MAYOR SHOULD GIVE

PEOPLE POSITIVE INCENTIVES.

GETTING PEOPLE BACK A NICKEL

EVERY TIME THEY DON'T USE A

PLASTIC BAG.

IN ALBANY, MARCIA KRAMER, CBS2

Undocumented Student Stories | De Anza College - Duration: 2:00.

(soft music plays)

It's not easy being an undocumented student, but at De Anza College

there's help available.

If you or anyone in your family's interested in going to

college, the De Anza Outreach office has the

answers for you. When it's time to register,

Admissions and Records can help most

undocumented students qualify for

in-state tuition.

The Financial Aid office can help with the California Dream Act, which

makes students eligible for scholarships

and state financial aid. The EOPS program also

has more resources for low-income and

first-generation college students, if

they qualify and meet certain criteria.

Plus, De Anza's website has a special page

with resources for undocumented students.

There's also a program on campus called

HEFAS, which stands for Higher

Education for AB540 Students,

and it serves undocumented students.

HEFAS is a student-run program that provides free services

reduces financial stress and creates

a safe space for undocumented students.

HEFAS also works on building future leaders,

creating social justice and advocating

for higher education.

You can come to HEFAS for free services and materials,

such as printing, testing materials

like Scantrons, and free textbook

and calculator rentals.

HEFAS also helps with access to scholarship

information and counselors. And we also

have access to off-campus resources

such as free legal aid.

Check out HEFAS. It's a great way to

participate in social justice, civic

engagement and leadership projects.

Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be

undocumented to volunteer with us.

To find out more, visit HEFAS online or on

our Facebook page ... or in person at our

office located in the lower level at the

campus center.

Undocumented students like myself face many challenges.

But at De Anza College

you're not alone.
