TVCC Budget Election
Treasure Valley Community College seeks approval on their
1971-72 operating budget at an election Friday, February 19.
Nyssa voters will go to the polls at the Multi-purpose room of
the Primary Building, and Adrian residents will vote at the
Adrian Elementary School.
The college administration and board have had a rather dif
ficult few months in view of the controversy which has arisen
over the OEO Migrant program. These difficulties have some
what obscured the fact that life goes on and the college is still in
business doing what it is supposed to be doing, educating our
young people.
As the facts have come out on this controversy it has become
increasingly evident that the college board has stood firm in face
of demands by an activist group whose main purpose seems to
have aims contrary to that of education. In standing firm, the
college has gained support from farm and business groups
throughout the TVCC district.
The Treasure Valley Community College administration and
Budget Committee have kept their promise to operate the college
next year within the limits set last year. The levy we are
asked to approve will be down considerably from the current
Jevy, or about $2.60 per $1,000 as against the current levy
of $2.93.
In studying the proposed budget, we see no significant areas
where further'euts can be made. We intend to support the budget,
and hope that the college can get on with its work. Won’t you go
to the polls Friday, and whatever your beliefs, back up your
best judgment with your vote.
