GOOD NEWS FROM THE VOLUNTEER STATE!

I grew up in Tennessee and let's just say it isn't known for it's progressive ideas. But this one is interesting--and shockingly, from a republican!

"In what is being hailed as the first of its kind in the nation, Tennessee’s governor, Bill Haslam (R) has proposed an initiative that would allow every high school graduate in the state to attend at least two years of college with a big discount. The goal is to make college more affordable, and in the case of technical schools or community colleges: completely free.

The move would help stop the disturbing explosion in tuition costs that has become a trend across the United States."
