Democratic party spokesman Jack Cardetti says he was surprised to find out that the sale of part of the state's college loan authority might go through legally.

He says that originally, the MOHELA board told the governor it was hesitant to go forward with anything that didn't have specific legislative approval.

Democrats also expressed concern over the way universities would money. 

The new plan, the agency, who finances economic development projects, will serve as a conduit for revenue from loan sales between MOHELA and the schools.

House Speaker Rod Jetton says this move eliminates any issues about the legality of selling college loans.

Blunt's original proposal failed in the House during the final hours of the last legislative session.
