Photos and 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 PCC. 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 PCC.
