“The governor’s announcement today shows the work our conference has done over the past week has paid off. This bill will go to great lengths to help give back to families who lost loved ones in the line of duty defending our country. Nothing will ever replace a family member but I believe this bipartisan bill to pay for tuition expenses to Gold Star families will make a huge difference in their lives and their future. As a veteran, it’s a true honor to have supported this bill that will help so many struggling families across our state.”
