(Sacramento) -  In order to make college less expensive and more accessible, Assemblymember Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) is joining Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) to pass a bold plan to close a tax loophole benefitting out-of-state corporations in order to cut college fees by two-thirds for middle class Californians.
