Gov. Blunt Statement on MOHELA
"Accusations that we have been in "secret" negotiations with private sector lending companies are irresponsible and patently false. My administration has been exploring opportunities to improve service to students, provide them with more student loan options, and to assist universities. We have stood by Missouri students during difficult budget times for our state and would only propose initiatives that would help them reach their educational goals."
