[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Never. Poor kids can get financial aid. DC is broke and isn't going to spend more money to subsidize upper middle class kids' college degrees [/quote]

It's federal money so it doesn't cost DC anything.

In 2021 Eleanor Holmes Norton succeeded in getting the House to pass an expanded program. But, that language was stripped by the Senate. Expanding DC TAG is normally one of Norton's priorities so I am sure she will keep trying. This year she may be distracted with the RFK transfer. You can read the discussion about Norton's previous attempt here:

I am not sure if she did anything with regard to DC TAG last year. If she did, I didn't hear about it.

Why does DC allow it to get stripped by the Senate? Where’s the political saavy of all the DC residents with an interest in this? [/quote]

It's true that the two Senators from DC failed to do their job. It's almost as if they've gone missing. I can't find them anywhere.

I'm so glad  that this forum has attracted political geniuses such as yourself.

If DC can lobby to get RFK back it can lobby for TAG. If DC can make national headlines for local residents organizing a recall, we can organize for TAG. [/quote]

and jeez Jeff, are you actually using your platform to insult people who think DC should fund college appropriately? [/quote]

TAG, as a federal program, has nothing to do with DC's funding choices.[/quote]
