What's the latest on the Republican governors' promise to refuse stimulus money?
Q. There was a big to-do about Republican governors saying they would refuse federal stimulus money. What's the latest on that? Do you think it's a good idea? I live in Texas and oppose the stimulus, but since I'm paying for it whether I like it or not, I think our Republican governor, Rick Perry, should take it. Otherwise, the fed is taking my federal tax money and sending it into other states.

A. The problem with taking it is the strings attached to it. The federal government is not suppose to have that much input on how states govern.

A. It would, sort of, be like a monarchy. Without the board of governors the voice of many will not be heard. It would only be the president's choice. Advantages are, - voice of the people within the jurisdiction of the governor will have a more chance of being heard. - Different suggestions will be heard throughout the meeting. The board of Governors usually have a high percentage that their voice or suggestion will be chosen in the said meeting. Hope this one helps...

In the Cal State system is there something similar to the Board of Governors Fee Waiver?
Q. When I attended a community college in California, the board of governors' fee waiver would eliminate my tuition cost and then whatever money I would get from FAFSA could be used to cover the cost of books, etc..

Therefore leaving states to find money in the future (large tax increases) to fund what the Feds say they must do now. On the contrary...EVERY governor that accepts the funds should be impeached along with all of those that voted in favor of the stim-u-less bill. Some people will actually tell you that it's your tax money your getting back, which only makes sense if it were coming from a surplus not a deficit. Many people are allowing themselves to be bribed with their own money. How wise is that.
