@PurpleTitan : You are right about that…theoretically, from a state perspective, it could inspire a virtuous cycle in which lower salaries for college educated workforce attracts more employers, who generate more state tax revenues, who fund this strategy. The only “losers” then are the graduates who would have been able to go to college anyway but decided to stay in-state and took advantage of this deal, but they may at worst be break-even with lowered salaries = free tuition.
