Governor Jodi Rell vetoed this last year in 2007.
Rep. Felipe Reinoso, D- Bridgeport & Senator Looney are at it again in 2008.
The Hartford Courant Poll reads “Should Connecticut students living in the country illegally attend public colleges and universities at the same tuition rate other state residents pay ?”
Under a bill introduced by state Rep. Felipe Reinoso, D- Bridgeport, Connecticut students living in the country illegally would pay in-state tuition rates at all state public colleges and universities, rather than the pricier out-of-state rates they must pay now.
Another bill, introduced by Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney, D- New Haven, takes a more limited approach, offering in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants at only the state’s community colleges.
The underlying point is the keywords ” living in the country illegally” .
Watch the poll climb . In 7 days, over 1100 people had voted on Line & 90% had voted NO. And almost 400 comments are posted on the article.
Oh & get this: “Representative Reinoso, an immigrant from Peru and a longtime educator, said he would be willing to negotiate with the governor’s office and make concessions if necessary to allow the bill to go forward.”
You can sign the petition against this at CT Gop Link .
How arrogant is that ? Like he is royalty.
See the entire article at the Hartford Courant.
