Gov candidate Ron Corbett pushes for community college funding - Ed Tibbetts, Quad Cities Times

"If it's the biggest challenge facing the state that we need our citizens to have more than just a high school education, why are you making it harder for them by raising tuition at the community colleges, and that's what's going to happen with these mid-year budget cuts," he said in an interview Thursday. Reynolds has proposed a $1.8 million cut for community colleges for the fiscal year ending June 30. The state Senate passed a bill earlier this month proposing a similar level of cuts. http://qctimes.com/news/local/government-and-politics/ron-corbett-pushes-for-community-college-funding/article_8ec2c404-dc37-5481-846f-7179f0766b99.html
