Families who earn less than $80,000 a year would qualify and it's only good for MN residents who are attending Minnesota state universities and colleges.

What about people who are 21+ and want to go back to school?

This is a terrible idea. Our "free" k-12 education we spend more money on per pupil than any other country except Luxembourg, and yet our students test scores are abysmal. Free college will just make the quality of the university become garbage.

Just means that most people will be paying higher state income taxes. Nothing is free in life. Two things never change: death and taxes.

Make since now that people are moving toward entrepreneurship and don’t necessarily have a goal of going to college, it’s great for those who have dreams of doing something their whole life and don’t necessarily have funding to accomplish it, I think the bill should include all of our future children regardless of household income, nevertheless, Great job Minnesota.

It isn't free and that's the problem.

[gkubie]

This sounds awesome and correct me if im worng arent most public colleges already mostly state funded?

[DrMerciless]

This is for illegal immigrants not MN citizens. They will replace you and you will pay all their expenses. Get out of MN while you still can.

Lol, the wheels are coming off! College is a waste of money now!

[darrelljohnson]

I object ! They won’t pay, but, as usual in Minnesota, We will .

Bravo Minnesota! Light the way for all States!
