Welcome to

Hundreds of college students are asking lawmakers to fund higher education. The students traveled from all over Florida today to rally at the state capitol. Alex Castro is a sophomore from Florida International University. Castro, like many other Florida students, says the legislature is making it hard for them to pay for school.

“They are cutting Bright Futures and then they are raising tuition. So it’s a double negatives and it’s not going to help families and students,” said Castro.

Other students in the rally voiced their concerns over Florida’s new voting law. They say it is too restrictive and limits early voting as well as registration drivers. A congressional hearing will be held on the new law Friday in Tampa.
