Many in Oregon likely sat up and lis-tened recently when President Barack Obama made this announcement in the State of the Union:
“I’m sending this Congress a bold, new plan to lower the cost of community college to zero!”
Anita Magana, a Portland Commu-nity College student, said she is happy to hear that help could be on the way.
