Representative Terry Musser says that's a mistake that needs to be corrected. “I mean this is, what, two years old and already we're cutting veterans benefits. We're in the middle of a war … that's going in the wrong direction.”
Musser, who chairs the Assembly Committee on Veterans and Military Affairs, will try to restore funding for the tuition programs.
