Vote your support for BMCC bond Letter to the Editor: BMCC Bond Measure 30-96 will not increase your tax rate. Education is the foundation of a healthy community, and continuing to provide a quality education at BMCC (Blue Mountain Community College) requires your help on Nov. 5. Umatilla and Morrow County voters will have the opportunity to renew an existing measure designed to support capital improvements at BMCC locations in both counties. The good news is that this renewal over the next 15 years will raise $28.1 million, but won’t take new tax dollars out o f your pocket. If you are convinced that all the facts that support this measure are accurate, then the validity of why it is needed is clearly apparent. For those o f you who support this measure, it is imperative that you send in your ballot. We know from past experience in both Umatilla and Morrow counties that every vote is important. Voters who support training our local students for careers of tomorrow at BMCC, please join me in voting “yes” for Ballot Measure 30-96. Ultimately, the support we give our local community college reflects on the values we place on learning right here at home, and this is an opportunity too important to miss. (s) Chris E Brown, Heppner Support northeastern Oregon through bond Letter to the Editor The residents o f Morrow and Umatilla counties have an opportunity to assist with the economic future o f northeastern Oregon. Rural counties have always struggled to provide job opportunities for our young adults. I’m sure that all of you have heard about “brain drain,” referring to our young people leaving the area to find employment. Did you know that Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) serves 10,000 students each year, and 80 percent of them remain in the local area? If Bond Measure 30-96 passes in November, BMCC will construct facilities for three new workforce training programs needed and requested by employers in our region. These training programs will enhance our agriculture-based economy and provide for more jobs in our region. There will be an Applied Animal Science Education Center in Pendleton, a Sustainable Precision Irrigated Agriculture Center in Hermiston and an Industrial Processes Workforce and STEAM Center in Boardman. By state law, a capital improvement bond can be used only for activities directly related to construction of new buildings or improvement of existing buildings. None of the funding will be used for staff salaries, benefits or for operating costs. I would also like to remind all of you voters that the tax rate will not increase; it will remain the same as the expiring bond. I ask for your support for Bond Measure 30-96. Support the measure that supports northeastern Oregon. Vote yes on Measure 30-96.
