What's not said is what is important in this article. In funding K-12 education above the originally proposed levels, the Governor will surely have the funds to fully support his proposed dollars in the operating budget for the USM. The Governor has relied upon funding from the federal government to support his operating budget.
So, the tuition freeze is becoming more and more likely each day. The announcement of full-funding of K-12 this year is a sign that funding should arrive for higher education to support a funded tuition freeze.

Just wait until the March budget numbers come out. Let's not count our chickens yet, Josh.
great point Jonathan. You're right in pointing out that the March budget numbers will determine the future of the tuition freeze and general funding of the state. It's also important to highlight that a smaller appropriation of the federal funds being dedicated to higher education as first expected brings the reality of a tuition freeze a bit more into question. Thanks for your comments.
