Rapp Concerned About Tuition Bill
Lawmakers are voicing concern over the details of legislation under consideration by the state House designed to offer non-resident military veterans an "in-state" tuition break at Pennsylvania's state related colleges and universities.
Rep. Kathy Rapp supports a tuition break for veterans, but is disturbed by a provision written into the bill.
"There's an appalling statement in this bill that says our veterans and their dependents must participate in community service," she said.
"This is a slap in the face to any veteran who has served this country," she said. They've done their duty. They've done their community service."
She said the "community service" language needs to be removed from the bill.
