I can see this being abused if it's not done properly. CC classes are already very cheap. You should get one or two bites at the apple then you're done with free.
I agree to this, as well as the need for mechanisms to prevent outsiders from coming in and abusing the MA taxpayer (ie. should have live here at least a year). But we know that will never happen, seeing the abuse going on with the emergency shelter thing.

I'm sure you got loans for your private school education too? why can't everyone just follow your lead? seems to be a good path.

Again, how much free stuff can MA afford to give out? Apparently a lot, but there is so much wrong with so much else. Glad the needs of people who can't afford life are being met though.

I always figured that Mass would be one of the first states to implement such a plan, but several other states have beat us to the punch. If it does pass, it will be a step in the right direction.

so does this include free trade school? Thats not usually a community college program.
