Colorado
Metropolitan State College of Denver
President Steve Jordan best captured the current tuition dilemma
when he said, "You don't get services for free. The public either
has to decide we are going to do it through shared responsibility,
which is the tax system, or it is the responsibility of the
individual. So far, the public has said it is the responsibility of
the individual."

Durango Herald editorial: 'No' on Amendment 63,
too
Amendment 63 is aimed at the
recently passed federal health-care reform. Its proponents, among
those who have done little or nothing about the steadily rising
costs associated with health care and the continued millions who
lack insurance, would like to see the country return to 2008 -- or
1900. |
