We need a new college. We have needed one for a long, long time. Our college is, literally, falling down around peoples' heads. Potential faculty take one look and say, 'No, thank-you, they don't care about their school and they sure won't care about giving me a pay increase in a few years!"
The benefits of a beautiful college on a beautiful site with beautiful facilities surrounding it (library, performing arts building, graphic arts, technical trades, musical, sports complex) is something the whole county can enjoy whether or not the people are taking classes. The buildings can be used for various meetings as well and the other schools can use the sports complex.
Wireless! Please! For all throughout the county where our hills don't impede or they can have relay stations. A sports complex that can be used year round so our kids have a healthy alternative to drugs and alcohol. The adults too, for that matter. More business classes so the entrepreneurs have a healthy alternative, again, to drug dealing.
We NEED fifty percent of the county to get out there and vote or it doesn't even matter if the yesses are the majority. If fifty percent of the voters don't vote it doesn't count. Today Katrina said someone came into the library and said they were deliberately witholding their ballot because they want to vote no but had heard the vote was so close that the nos should just not vote because they had a better chance of not making the fifty percent requirement than making sure that there were enough nos to defeat the bond! So, that also means the port race loses, too! What are people thinking? I guess whatever it takes to "win"?
