Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate and state Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz (D-Jamaica Plain) wants free public college — and she offered a way that she thinks will pay for most of it.
She says that the proposal would cost $2 billion per year. Her plan to fund most of it is a 2.5 percent tax on college endowments exceeding $1 billion, according to Boston.com.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker says that he has no plans to allow it. The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has told local and regional public school officials that so-called days of learning must take place in person and not online.
