From Pre-School to Community College, our state legislature has done everything they can to cut funding so they can proclaim that they do not raise taxes. Unfortunately, that leaves the burden upon county taxpayers to make up this shortfall with higher taxes.
I’m like many of you, I don’t want to see my taxes raised. But I do not want to see our future citizens harmed by legislators who are penny wise and pound foolish.
Our own Central Arizona College has been put in a very precarious situation through these funding cuts.
A group of citizens now wants to help the legislature cut funding to our college-they want to recall two of the Board of Directors so they can place their people in these seats.
The effects would be harmful for the students in the eastern part of Pinal County. If CAC were to cut any more from their budget-the Aravaipa Campus would be the first to close. Many students from Oracle to Superior would be left without a nearby school to attend. Not everyone can afford to stay in the dorms at Signal Peak.
Join me and other education friendly citizens by saying no to this recall.
Sincerely,
/s/ Pete Rios
Vice Chairman
Pinal County Board of Supervisors, District 1
