Re: Military TX Hunting & Fishing Fees Waived

Agreed. Now, if we could just get the in-state college tuition mess sorted out for our men and women in uniform as well.

If you haven't heard, a quick summary is that a returning serviceman (two tours in Iraq, as well as tours elsewhere) who resides in Texas when he's not deployed has returned to Texas and been denied in-state tuition because he "doesn't qualify". It seems his time spent in Iraq, in the service of our country, takes away his right to in-state tuition. Bah....

Thankfully, it's getting a lot of play in the news and on the radio and will hopefully knock some sense into our legislators up in Austin so they can do something about it. More info on this story (via Google News)
