Blankenbush Says No to Free College for Illegals

A statement by Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R,C,I-Black River)

“People in the North Country have had enough. So many of our young people are unable to buy first homes or afford a car payment because they’re being crushed by student loans. Our middle-class families and small businesses are dealing with some of the highest tax burdens in the country. It makes no sense to provide illegals with a free college education. I voted no, and I’m hopeful this bill will be defeated in the state Senate.
