Perdue on the education budget
Gov. Bev Perdue continued her budget rollout today at Wake County Community College's campus in North Raleigh today.
She said that her budget:
- * would increase spending on public education by 2.5 percent, but relies heavily on federal stimulus dollars to do that.
- * will cut state support for central office administrators.
- * will increase funding for retraining workers.
- * would fund enrolment growth and expand support for financial aid for university systems.
- * however, she said she would be cutting funding for joint campuses and centers located not on a university's main campus. To my mind, that says the folks running the UNCG-NCAT nanotechnology school are likely in for a disappointment.

Naw! They simply stop her government Limo on the way out of the campus by the campus Police and issue a speeding ticket for 2 million dollars to cover the short fall of the funding for the nanotechology school.
