Tuition at Minnesota's public colleges would be free to residents whose families earn less than $80,000 annually, starting in the 2024-2025 academic year, under an 'agreement reached by legislative negotiators'. It is not said who was negotiating with whom, so what does that mean? It means a buncha guys sat around a table and decided to spend a shitload of everybody else's money but their own.
If the passes, qualifying Minnesotans would no longer have to take on debt to get a public college degree, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported.
The "North Star Promise" free tuition program would cost about $117 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1, including startup costs. After that, it would cost about $49.5 million annually. The program is, of course, targeted primarily at 'minorities'.

A proposal to pay Black people in California up to $1.2 million in restitution for slavery ran into political headwinds Wednesday as Gov. Gavin Newsom and a lawmaker who was on the state panel raised doubts about the prospect of cash payments.
State Sen. Steven Bradford said he wouldn’t count on the Legislature - though dominated by Democrats - to vote in favor of payments.
When pressed for the reason why he thought it wouldn't pass, he replied 'Because even they aren't that fuckin' stupid'. Or at least that's what I think I woulda said if they asked me the same question.

Tlaib’s event was held in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Hearing Room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, a panel chaired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). During the event, Tlaib confirmed that Sanders allowed her to use his committee’s room.
One question here - how is she representing her constituency by doing shit like this?
