Dear Friend,
Last week, I helped pass legislation that will make college more affordable for our state's students and working families.
The Higher Education Act, which I helped write, will raise the number of Pell Grants, keep loan payments reasonable for graduates, assist military service members, and help homeless and foster students attend college.
The bill will make nearly $40 million more in need-based grants available for Washington state students next year alone.
Watch a speech I delivered supporting this bill.
Awe, that's nice. And good work for a germaine topic important to us all.
Course some of us think that you should be more focused and time-prioritized on other more timely concerns like what the Seattle Times is worried about.
