BTC to hold public hearing on budget

by BETH WHEELOCK Tuesday, June 16, 2009

The Blackhawk Technical College Board is holding a public hearing on its 2009-10 budget Wednesday.

Andy McGrath, manager of grant administration and budget development, says the board is very supportive of the budget proposal because of the school's rapidly increasing enrollment. The total proposed equalized tax rate will result in about $175 in equalized property taxes on a $100,000 home. He says the property taxes will help provide funding for nine limited term positions. Two of those positions are externally funded.

The hearing starts at 6:30 at BTC.

I agree with these comments.. Not just the schools, but every business out there that can't live within their "budget", needs to stop taking from us, and start learning how to downsize things, or use their resources wisely. I can't afford more taxes. I currently attend BTC, and I give them enough money already, plus the taxes.
