WCSH 6: Rep. Chenette speaks on college debt & solutions

(WCSH 6 NEWS CENTER) -- Representative Justin Chenette visits the Morning Report to talk about a new idea legislators are proposing to help reduce the cost of college education.

Students graduating with four-year degrees are often facing $20-30,000 of debt, if not more, and the President of the Community College System says that is scaring a lot of people away from going to college.

As a recent college graduate himself, Rep. Chenette has some ideas on how we can make college affordable for Maine students and keep them in the state after graduation.
