Attorney General Jay Nixon's 2008 political campaign for governor sent an online petition to supporters today to oppose the MOHELA bill sent to Blunt yesterday.
The petition calls for Blunt to veto SB 389, calling the plan "misguided".
Nixon's letter from the plea:
"With tuition consistently on the rise, a college education is moving further out of reach for more Missourians each year. Under Governor Matt Blunt, working families now pay 46% of their income to send a child to college. Recently, the Missouri Legislature passed a plan that would make this situation even worse, stripping away hundreds of millions of dollars from MOHELA, the agency that provides low-interest student loans to middle-class families.
Now Matt Blunt has an important decision to make: He can either stand with the thousands of middle-class Missourians struggling to afford a college education and veto this bill, or sign this misguided bill into law.
Tell Matt Blunt that Missourians don't want him to touch MOHELA -- forward him an email now!"
