Petitions target tuition, smoking

A statewide signature drive launched last Tuesday aims at lowering tuition at state colleges and universities through increasing Idaho's cigarette tax. The drive is sponsored by the group StopTuitionHikes.com, which recently completed ballot language review and titling through the Idaho Attorney General's office. Now it will begin to gather signatures in hopes that its ballot initiative — to substantially lower tuition rates at public universities and college — will be the first to appear on a statewide ballot since 2006/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Do you support/oppose this concept?
