Subject: Help to Save Butte College
To The Honorable Member of the State Senate, Sam Aanestad:
You are certainly aware that our state faces a seemingly unending budget stalemate that has pushed California to the brink of collapse. Our deficits are huge, and growing daily. There must be hard decisions made to eliminate our deficit, including cuts. This much is clear. Regardless of the wide partisan differences in the legislature, I hope that a budget will be passed that will allow our state to prosper in the same way that it once did.
However, the reason that I am writing you is because there is one thing that all Californian's agree upon: our system of higher education should be that which is emulated around the country and the world. But with the State's budget cuts toward our schools, including our local Butte College, how can we stand with pride alongside states and nations that fund their school systems properly?
Butte College is an absolutely invaluable part of our local community, serving the lower income and middle class students who otherwise would not have been able to afford to even attend another school in our area. We have community colleges for a reason, sir, to provide the first steps to leading a happy, productive, and successful life for ourselves. When 60 percent of Butte College's student services budget is being slashed at the same time as growth at the school is accelerating at a record pace, how can we say that as Californians we care about our children or our future?
So please, sir, don't cut our lifeline. Don't cut our future short. Please help to stop the cut of Butte College's budget. The next generation that passes through its halls will thank you. Please let me know how you decide to act on this important issue.
Thank you,
