From his speech today and the things he has put in his budget, we know that he strongly supports community colleges.

He has helped us out so much with equalization over the past few years. Without him, we would not have an equalization plan.

It was such a positive experience to have him here, and have him talking about our issues.

For some classes, we have only four sections when we need 14. If we had always had this kind of money, we could have been providing the community more and more access to education all along.

Certainly we would be right up there because most of our buildings date from the late 1950s and early 1960s.

We're going to work hard to maintain that $130 million throughout the process. We know it's not a sure thing.
