LTCC inviting public to learn about bond
Lake Tahoe Community College is hosting an open house Feb. 5 from 5-7pm to educate the public about Measure F, what it will mean for the campus and community.
It will be in the main building.
Administrators, staff and students will answer questions about the bond, and share information about what’s coming to campus, and when.
And next you can attend a wonderful presentation at Marriott about timeshare opportunities…
Dumbfounded: exactly. Measure F is a scam. They deceive us, we give them the money, then the curtain falls and we see what we’re really paying for: a nice raise for all the staff, a new soccer field to replace the one that they ruined with snow globe, and a new building that was supposed to be for their new 4 year degree, which isn’t even going to happen! Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need to fix the roof, the heat doesn’t work, the is a leaky pipe, the building needs painting, where’d the other 50 million go?
Ahem your comments are backed up by nothing. You are spreading miss-information. The money that will be raised by measure F can not be used for salary increases. I’d recommend you attend the February 5th meeting to educate your self.
LeanForward, right, the Measure F money won’t go to salary increases. BUT the money that would have been used for maintenance has now been freed up by the bond so that it can go to salary increases. Don’t pretend you don’t understand that.
It’s just a shell game, regardless of the lies they’re going to tell.
I still can’t believe the voters fell for it.
Dogula, Thanks! I know I’m right. Glad you agree measure F money can not be used for salary.
There you have it folks. The great Dogula backed me up! Maybe it will snow now?
Also…
Show me proof of this shell game Dog! Show me one shred of evidence that there is something nefarious going on here.
Ummmmm, they gave themselves a raise less than two months after the bond passed?
Or is that just a completely unrelated coincidence?
I wonder if the Easter Bunny lives in my back yard?
Lean: As Dogula said, the measure F money cannot be used directly for salary increases, but money can now be taken from other places in the budget and used for raises, while measure F replaces the money they move. And if measure F had nothing to do with the four year degree, raises, or new buildings, then what the heck was it for? 55 million to patch up the roof, fix the heater, and seal the leaking pipe? No way!
Ahem, you of all people need to attend the meeting mentioned in this article.
Lean: So since you seem to know a lot, why don’t you educate us? How is the bond money going to be spent?
I have made some comments in the past in regards to measure “f” in regards to raising property taxes for improvevements, upgrades and new construction for LTCC as to, which, upon a close vote, raising everyone’s property taxes to the grand sum of 50 million plus dollars.
A leaky roof? Some cold rooms in the winter? Upgrading cell phone service and a faster internet service? Construction of a new building? Rebuilding the commons area?
Oh yeah, and let’s not forget juggling the budget so everybody who works at the LTTC gets a raise real quick from taxpayer money.
This ol’ boy is not anti LTCC. Hardly from it! Beats the heck of when they started out in a old motel!
It just seems like 50 million might just be a BIT much to patch a roof and install a new furnace and put in a few additions.
Seems to me, you could tear the old one down and put up another whole college for that amount of money!
The LTCC is not all that old. Let’s fix er’ up and get many more good years from that campus from simple repairs.
50 million? I don’t think so. They got our money by a slim margin at the polls. They won’t be returning your taxpayer dollars. Follow the money! OLS
Just my thoughts. Old Long Skiis
Well said OLS.
Dog, ahem and OLS, i was wondering if you knew that in the upcoming state budget the community colleges recieved a nice little increase in funding more than enough to cover a measly 2% COLA, I am pretty sure at least 2 of you are retired and over the last 5 years recieved COLAs(combined) of 2 to 4 times this amount, through social security or other retirement plans. Also it seems some of you have selective reading or are forgetting, most of the 100k a year that this is costing is coming out of employee sharing of heath care savings.
OLS. They spent $60 Million on a remodel of the old Sahara without tearing the whole place down and starting over. Don’t remember how much, if any, Horizon put into the Sahara when they took over in 1990.
Go to the meeting in February.
FYI. Measure F passed with 58% (3784) of vote; of course turnout was 49% (versus 30% in June). 58% isn’t “slim.”
Ahem, according to you, you are only 16. You have a long way to go to be such a know it all, maybe a few classes in economics, political science, natural resource management and communications could help with your knowledge base. It might even help your perspective. Just saying…..
