Gregoire signs law to ease tuition to fallen Soldiers kin


OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The state's public universities and colleges will waive tuition and fees for spouses and children of fallen soldiers, under a measure signed into law Monday.

"Helping these children and spouses succeed in education is the least we could do," Gov. Chris Gregoire said before signing the bill.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla, takes effect in July. It will cover spouses and children of active-duty and National Guard members killed, disabled, captured or missing in action.
