Wednesday, July 9, 2008

Ohio is becoming the first state to offer in-state prices on college tuition for nearly all military veterans. But it's not just an act of generosity. Our Statehouse correspondent Karen Kasler reports.

Listener Comments:

This new plan to help troops get into collage is great, I only wish it could effect me in some way. I am a 35 year old Desert Shield troop who is finding it very, very hard to get started because the G.I. bill does not do enough for the rising cost of collage. I live from paycheck to paycheck due to the fact that everything is going up in cost except how much I make an hour. I am also mad at the fact that this government we have now is horrible in every way. How did Bin Laden turn into Sadam? What a waste of american tax payer dollars. I hope Bush enjoys the blood he spilled for oil. He is the biggest crime against America and to hear of fellow troops wasted on this genocide for oil breaks my heart. If there is a hell he is sure to go there or bring it to us again in the future. The effects of what he has done is going to take a while to get at least somewhat fixed.
