Want to go to Salem to hear about the ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ budget?
Story by Dana Haynes
The Ways and Means Committee – the budget-writing body of the Legislature – takes up the issue of community college budgets this week and next.
We’re looking to fill the room with folks who believe in ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½. Want to go? Contact me and dana.haynes@pcc.edu and we can schedule it.
People should be in the Capitol, in the corridor outside Hearing Room F, by 8 a.m. Hearings start at 8:30 a.m. and run to about 10 a.m. The dates are Wednesday and Thursday of this week, April 1 and 2; and Monday through Wednesday, April 6 to 8.
The most critical date is Wednesday, April 8. That’s when, if you’d like, you can sign up to testify on behalf of the college. Testimony is limited to 3 minutes.
Send me an e-mail if you’d like to join us. For more information on the Legislature and ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½.
