[D-J]Steve Holland Advises Dipping in to the Rainy Day Fund, Not Increasing College Tuition
According to The Daily Journal, State Rep. Steve Holland suggested holding a special legislative session to discuss an alternative option to increasing college tuition prices to pay for operating costs. Holland advises dipping into the state’s Rainy Day Fund, which will hold nearly $300 million by the end of the summer.
“This tuition increase is nothing but a hidden taxes on students and their families,” Holland said. “We’re not opposed to the colleges getting their money. We just think there is a better way to do it.”

I’m not always a fan of Holland’s brand of trickery, but this is an interesting way to call “special session man” to the carpet.

Perhaps he can locate some of the missing $55 Million he swindled via Beef Plant scandal and divert some of those millions to the students that need help with their tuition.
Mr Holland, I am done asking ‘Where’s the Beef?’.
Now I want to know..."Where’s the Money?”
Mr Holland, Can we have our Money Back?!?

(Note: The following is satire. In other breaking news, the sky is blue and the grass is green.)
HOST: “Welcome to Non Sequitur Theater! Our guest tonight is J. Everett Dutschke, the Ross Perot of District 16. Mr. Dutschke is talking about Steve Holland’s massive beef plant, if you know what I mean.”
DUTSCHKE: “Well, uh, actually, I literally meant a beef plant. A $55 million beef plant.”
HOST: “That’s a mighty big beef plant, isn’t it, gang?” *audience hoots*
DUTSCHKE: “But it never materialized.”
HOST: “I’m sorry to hear that, Mr. Dutschke, but it happens to all of us from time to time...”
Cheers,
TH
