In-State Tuition For Illegals?

The State House of Representatives passed a bill on Friday which would allow illegal immigrants to pay the in-state tuition rate at colleges. It has become a very controversial bill which passed by only nine votes, 76-67. You can read the story here from the News-Times.

Here is a look at how Danbury's four State Representatives voted on the bill:
Jason Bartlett (D-2) -- YES
Joe Taborsak (D-109) -- YES
Bob Godfrey (D-110) -- NO
Jan Giegler (R-138) -- NO


The bill will now move to the Senate where the future is said to be unknown. It should be interesting to see the outcome.
