Hmmm....some brilliant investigative reporter needs to take a hard look at the facilities plan. Let's see if in fact this desired money would be more of a gift to the local construction industry versus actually benefiting the students and classroom teachers. Seems to me what the college needs is not more "bricks and mortar" but higher teacher pay, more online/distance learning, and increased use of existing empty classrooms between 2 and 5pm. Further: I'll bet there's some un-used commercial real estate around town which could be rented and converted to classroom space - much more cheaply than new construction. Taxpayers need to really analyze this......
