Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer plans to urge state lawmakers to pass legislation that would provide free community college tuition for all high school graduates during her sixth State of the State speech on Wednesday.
Whitmer also prioritized community college access in her annual address last year. State lawmakers responded by temporarily lowering the minimum age for free tuition from 25 to 21 years old. The Democratic governor now wants to expand the program by removing all age requirements for free community college, according to details of her plan provided to The Associated Press by Whitmer’s office.
Whitmer’s administration created the Michigan Reconnect program in 2021, aiming to increase the percentage of the state’s workforce with a postsecondary degree or training from 50.5% to 60% by 2030. It made Michigan residents 25 years and older eligible for free community college tuition.

Yes but what if Lenin comes back from the dead and makes my kids gay?
Then it’s $1 net present value of future income tax + Undead Lenin and more gay kids.
I don’t see the issue here.
On a different note, Undead Lenin is a kickass band name.

The fates can be cruel.
We can only hope
Fellas, is it gay to seize the means of production?
