Gov. Brown to sign the California Dream Act?

Gov. Jerry Brown, who pledged to sign legislation to help undocumented students qualify for financial aid, will attend a Dream Act Town Hall meeting at noon today at Los Angeles City College. The town hall meeting will also be attended by Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) author of the legislation. Could this really be a signing ceremony?

AB 130, the California Dream Act, would allow for undocumented students who qualify for in-state tuition at California colleges and universities to receive scholarships from private, non-state funds. Another bill which would allow undocumented students to tap into public financial aid is stuck in the Senate.
