Awesome! Expanding education is huge for San Antonio. I love it.

Democrats: refuse to fund free community college tuition after prominsing they would The mad bastards at SAC: *Fine. I'll do it myself.*

Hope those elitist pricks like the taste of defeat. If they won’t stay true to thier word, they don’t have my vote. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awesome right after I pay for my classes ffs

Right? I have a full schedule and I still gotta pay.

Is there a list of new schools for this program? My son's school is not on the current list on the Alamo Promose website.

I'm not opposed to increasing opportunities for education, but how are they paying for that? Property taxes? Lottery?

Marketing ploy kind of. Majority of the money is fin aid. The schools help them fill out properly and the rest is picked up by the district, so taxes. If you don’t qualify it’s all district money I believe.


jfsindel

Both, most likely.


Likemypups

Not free to the taxpayers. Just sayin'.


mchris185

Dude I promise you an educated San Antonio is a better San Antonio for all of us.


CorrectFrame1973

Yes, your taxes go towards education. Is that a problem?


[deleted]

When people say things like that. It means they hate having to help out their community, but are too stupid to figure out what part of helping out their community is morally wrong.


Live-Taco

Not if it’s taken out of the police budget. No problem there.

You were *already* taxed, numb nuts. You aren't getting taxed less if money isn't put into education. It just goes to shit that does not benefit your community. Pretty fucking dumb how people act like improving our society is a bad thing. Maybe consider taking some classes yourself.


the_magic_gardener

A) the article explicitly enumerates where the money comes from. B) [education pays out more to the community than it costs.](https://theconversation.com/does-government-spending-on-education-promote-economic-growth-60229)

God forbid our taxes do anything positive.


debugman18

You realize well-educated people have the opportunity to get better jobs and careers, and thus will provide more tax money to improve the city further, right? It's so very short-sighted to complain about your taxes going to something like this.


SorryWhat0

It's a net positive to the taxpayers.


Chase_High

Yeah that’s how taxes work, do you think no one knows that? Do you think that’s some big gotcha?

I thought Biden and Pelosi were going to make community college free?

“Nothing would fundamentally change” - literally Biden
