I'm fitting that description and I'm sure Neeka's son will fall into the Colorado trap, too. I've lived in five states and visited most of the rest, and Colorado is my favorite. I'm going to dry out to a husk and blow away, but I love it. :) Back in 1988, we were leaving the DC area. I had a job offer in Denver. My wife's brother and his wife lived in Genesee. We looked at houses in Genesee, Evergreen and Golden. But in the end, we concluded we'd ultimately want to end up someplace with salt water, so we passed and ended up in Seattle. Not I sit here in SE Washington - not a lot of salt water here. We're headed for the Maroon Bells in early July, then on to Silverthorne. Really looking forward to it.

ADDRESSING HIGH TUITION COSTS, DENVER COLLEGE CUTS TUITION IN HALF… FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS Posted on June 8, 2012 at 9:07pm by theblaze.com The cost of college tuition has skyrocketed in recent years and the issue has become a leading cause among members of the Occupy Wall Street movement, who claim education is fundamental right. They might be happy to know that help is finally on the way… for illegal immigrants. Metro State College of Denver trustees on Thursday voted 7-1 in favor of a plan that will give illegal aliens a 58 percent tuition break, making them the first college in the country to lower tuition for non-citizens, CBS4 in Denver reports. The state legislature could decide to reduce state funding as a result, one Colorado lawmaker says. State lawmakers shot-down a bill that would have lowered tuition for illegal immigrations during their last session. Further, CBS4 reports similar laws have been defeated five times in the last nine sessions. CBS4 in Denver breaks down the details of the new tuition guidelines: About 300 students would benefit from the tuition change. Those students would also have to meet admission standards. The plan would cut the cost of tuition in half for those students.The new tuition rate breaks down like this: $6,716.60 per year for a full-time undocumented immigrant student. This compares to nearly $15,985 per year for out-of-state tuition and $4,304.40 per year for in-state tuition.The new rate will take effect this fall.Metro State College of Denver will officially change its name to Metro State University of Denver on July 1. “There are no tax dollars involved, no subsidy, they don’t get anything special just a reduced tuition rate,” Metro State Trustee Terrance Carroll told CBS4.
