Ask the Governor why we give Peabody coal 300 million yet we will cut education.
Why are we making the Community Colleges and other suffer at the local level when KCTCS president gets the LARGEST salary in CC higher ed? No budget cuts at the KCTCS system office with its 2.9 million a month salary base. Yet the CTC's are expected to cut services that affect our communities.
Cut salaries and fluff at the top, Higher education may have some money to do somethign with. Why aren't KY taxpayers outraged at giving 300 million to Peabody Coal, the richest COAL company in the world and then allow the HIGHER ED AT THE TOP, who do what we dont know, keep all their money while secretaries and professors get cut and this truly has affect on the state and its communities. CAN WE SAY THOSE WHO HAVE THEIRS DON'T REALLY CARE IF WE ADVANCE OR NOT!
