If we can find the money, I have no serious objections. Maybe slap on a community service requirement as well.

Agreed, I think the problem is trying to find the money without having to bring back the income tax.

I have lots of alternative ideas for how to raise money. Some are in the bills ive been introducing but there are plenty more. Id be down with increasing the liquor tax, creating a lottery, taxing recreational cannabis, tying hunting cabin fees and fishing license prices to CPI, more commemorative coins, allow more billboards along state roads, charging lefties for the privilege of t.p.ing confederate statues, or selling land for instance.

Also, we could cut funding to colleges by 10% if they have speech codes which unfairly limit student freedom.

After thinking about this bill for a while, I don't think it addresses why tuition is getting out of control and would only act as a money pit.

Its been about 3 days with no new debate so I motion we table this bill until we get the budget figures and consider other business.
