they want all that money,,well how about just shutting the thing down, saving turtle is not a colledge subject, if it is then its not needed, besides, a good third (or more) of the students are on welfare grants, and the colledge hands em out when they fel like it. I know I know a couple of people that are trying to make an improvement in thier lives, and the grant admin, makes life dificult.
why is it all the working people are temps but from admi on up are full time,??
not my vote, thats for sure NO!!

Not with me

It is hard to believe that, in these difficult times, this bastion of nepotism has the audacity to ask taxpayers to fund a further expansion of its pet projects.
If there indeed measures that are vital to the educational mandate of the "Community" College, maybe a second look at the six digit salaries of the top administrators would yield a more appropriate source of funding.
Do not let this issue slip by, when asked to approve it on your ballot.

not with me= so true, the voters can slow this down simply by VOTING NO !
the city.county, are home to some of the bigest nepotism around, the state also for that matter.
I know getting a job with any of the is a matter of who you know rather than what you know.
voting NO to any in crease in bonds, or taxes, will slow it down. only exception is the police dept. but with over site from a working man control.

And people wonder why there are no jobs in the area paying good money. There is a deficiency in people in Mohave County with a COLLEGE EDUCATION, and this NEEDS to change.
Welfare hand outs are letting these people go to school? I get LOANS, that I will have to PAY back. I will be in serious debt when I have finished school, and where am I going to work in the area that I would be able to pay it back? Not in Kingman, that is a fact.
The Colleges in MC need upgrades, they need to become Universities as a matter of fact. So that everyones "quality of life" grows for the area.
I vote yes, for the upgrades. I vote yes, for the bond.

History... Exactly! Unfortunately many young or newly registered voters have not learned this lesson. Remember this: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

"Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged."
Northwest Ordinance 1787
I certainly agree that education is an important factor in the economic development of a community, but more importantly, in the maintenance of a democracy.
If we choose be governed by the dictatorship of the majority, the majority should at least have enjoyed a level of education that enables the people to make informed decisions, which I believe was the intent of our founding fathers. I try to remind myself of this each time I look at my property taxes, and realize how much I am paying to educate other people’s children.
I do believe in education, but I am uncertain whether my taxes should pay for the training which by right should be provided by the employers, the beneficiaries of the training which we pay for in the form of “college” courses in card dealing, truck driving, and other trades. I in no way discourage this training, but just don’t believe I should pay for it with my property taxes (nor with an additional bond issue), in order to provide the casinos with pre-trained employees.
I would be a dream come true to see a university in our area, but to this end “upgrading” the present “Community College” would not suffice. The college would need to be totally revamped, the top-heavy and nepotistic administration reformed, and the job training programs replaced or at least enhanced with a curriculum that reflects a love of life-long learning, enthusiasm for teaching, and an understanding of knowledge as “being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind”.
Until I see this happening, I will oppose every penny directed toward the pockets of the college administration and away from much needed improvements in the infrastructure of our community.
