They're on life support thanks to the taxpayers (whom you seem to hate). They've made more money last year than they have in ten. Only you all think they're on life support. This thread is an echo chamber.....and you all reinforce the thread's meme. The Volt is a 40K boondoggle that will fail in the marketplace. That much is crystal clear. We'll see.

Maryland State Delegate to Sue MD College over Illegals wmal.com ^ \| November 26, 2010 \| Amanda Gaines wmal.com WASHINGTON - A Maryland state delegate is preparing to file a civil injunction against Montgomery College for allowing illegal immigrants to attend the school, 630 WMAL News has learned. "According to the statistics we have, we think it could be as much as $10 million in taxpayer subsidies being used for in-state tuition illegally," said Delegate Pat McDonough, a Republican representing Baltimore and Harford counties. McDonough called for a criminal investigation into the public institution last month. While some other public universities in the area allow illegal immigrants as students, Montgomery College is one of the few to afford them with low in-state tuition rates. The blame falls on the college and County Executive Ike Leggett for allowing illegal aliens not only to attend the school, but to pay the same costs as legal in-state students, McDonough told WMAL. He added that the injunction will be filed "in the very near future." "They've all pleaded guilty," he said. "What they don't understand is, you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own law. So we plan to go to the state prosecutor and the federal prosecutor because it's a violation of both federal and state law." Some Montgomery County residents are already planning to join the lawsuit, McDonough said. He called Montgomery College the "tip of the iceburg," and says he suspects illegals are being offered similar deals at other public institutions of higher learning in the state. "The money has already been spent," he said. "The taxpayer's money has already been used under unlawful conditions. Somebody has to be responsible for that."
