Last week, President Barack Obama unveiled a proposal to make the first two years of community college tuition free for students who uphold certain standards.
Earlier this week, The Associated Press reported that Republican Governor of Maine, Paul LePage, spent almost $53,000 on attorneys in an attempt to exorcise thousands of young people from Medicaid. The attempt failed. What’s even more frustrating about Gov. LePage’s actions is that Maine’s attorney general informed the governor’s office that the lawsuit would likely fail. [1]
