New York does the right thing. From Mr. Spitzer's State of the State, via Altercation, (who linked to Whiskey Fire earlier, in a baffling attempt at self-sabotaging their reputation):
There is one group of guests I would especially like to recognize, New York's combat veterans....
In the name of all of those who have served on our behalf, I will send you a bill guaranteeing New York's returning combat veterans a benefit that covers the full cost of SUNY or CUNY tuition, and that can be used at any college or university in New York State.
That's great. At our community college (which is part of SUNY) we're already seeing quite a few returning vets; this should make it easier for them to get caught up on the education they put on hold. (Molly I will probably have more on this, stay tuned.)
