Your Honorable Speaker, this amendment pares down the College For All Act to just community colleges. The elimination of tuition for working and middle-class students is an excellent idea.

Your Honorable Speaker, I agree with some of the freed-up funding being shifted over to expand Pell Grants.

Now that a lot of backlog in the bills has been swamp-drained, it is time to make some headway to work on the details of this bill before its passage.

How about some kind of GPA requirement to qualify? I'm not 100% on the idea but what does everybody think?
What GPA requirement would you have in mind?
I wonder this as well; does the representative mean high school GPAs or university GPAs?
As the bill's sponsor, I also would like a clarification on this, too.

I'd go for the 2.5 or higher GPA and 85% attendance rate for high school idea.

Would it be possible to redirect money from somewhere to fund this?

I would rather not raise more taxes in a situation where unemployment is almost 8%.
I wouldn't oppose redirecting some money elsewhere fund this.
