The U.S. Department of Education released $21.2 billion Thursday as part of the coronavirus relief legislation Congress and President Trump approved in December to help colleges and universities nationally.

When Linn County Commissioner Will Tucker was 15 years old, he ran away from home and lived in San Franciscoâs Haight-Ashbury district, which in 1968 was the epicenter of the hippie movement.
âI strung beads for a few weeks and girls would sell them for 50 cents,â Tucker said. âI saw the good and bad in people.â
Tucker chose to do good things in life, a decision that has guided his decision-making ever since.
