Bill Calls For Free Community College Tuition

(Olympia, WA)  --  Washington state lawmakers are proposing free tuition at community colleges across the state.  The measure targets those who can't afford to pay their way through college, and would also include a stipend for books and other expenses for some qualifying students.  Anyone who doesn't hold a college degree would be eligible for the two years of free tuition.  Lawmakers say the program would cost the state between 100-million and 125-million dollars, but a plan on how to raise the revenue hasn't been developed yet.
