Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer plans to urge state lawmakers to pass legislation that would provide free community college tuition for all high school graduates during her sixth State of the State speech on Wednesday.
Whitmer also prioritized community college access in her annual address last year. State lawmakers responded by temporarily lowering the minimum age for free tuition from 25 to 21 years old. The Democratic governor now wants to expand the program by removing all age requirements for free community college, according to details of her plan provided to The Associated Press by Whitmer’s office.
Whitmer’s administration created the Michigan Reconnect program in 2021, aiming to increase the percentage of the state’s workforce with a postsecondary degree or training from 50.5% to 60% by 2030. It made Michigan residents 25 years and older eligible for free community college tuition.

No, I said one possible measure, and asked you to provide a measure you prefer. You provided no measure of your own.
And I said nothing of the sort. Again, you’re building a strawman.
Yeah, I’m doubting that.
I’m not sure are the best person to judge that. Most of the things you say that make paint me as unreasonable are things you said, not my own words. You’re clearly having difficulty with this conversation, and my day is not made better by yours getting worse. Whatever it is in life that is denying you peace, I hope you overcome it.
I see nothing productive for either of us continuing this. I won’t be replying to you anymore.
