 And our final debate tonight featured District 2B candidates Brian Klub on day versus incumbent Republican Steve Green. One topic discussed was the cost of higher education. We are going broke funding the universities and the Minsk U and even the K-12 and there's nothing wrong with putting money into them but we do we do need to demand results. We need to find out where we can where we can trim costs within the university so they can save money for themselves and and put into their own program. Getting the cost of some of these four-year schools down make you know start now with a tuition freeze maybe and going forward look at some of the administration costs and what we can do to reel reel some of that in and you know I would hate to be a kid getting out of college with a ton of debt and trying to start a family.
