Indiana Governor Proposes Paying for Part of College Costs

Vic Ryckaert:

Gov. Mitch Daniels wants the state to help bankroll the first two years of college for Hoosier families struggling to pay tuition.

The governor doesn't know how the state will pay for the plan, which he said would provide $6,000, the equivalent of two years of tuition at Ivy Tech Community College.

Families earning up to the state's median income of $54,000 a year would be eligible.
