McKeithen loan program stalls house action in Louisiana
In Baton Rouge Gov John J McKeithens student loan plan faced House resistance as floor leaders battled over replacing college fee exemptions with a loan system. The bill would back 90 percent of loans up to 1000 dollars per student with a 5000 dollar cap, shifting away from existing scholarships and fee exemptions. The session also delayed votes on tidelands funds and a mineral board seats bill.
