I, too, support increased access for students throughout the Delta district. Without a commitment from the state for funding growth and expansion, this will be difficult for any district in California. I am very encouraged by the outreach of our local business and industry leaders, and other elected leaders, to find ways to contribute to the support our public education institutions so desperately need. Nonetheless, we cannot continue to believe that government can and will supply every resource needed to train the workforce of the future. It simply has not happened in the last 10 years and more.

Political promises in an election year are cheap and easy, but do not amount to what voters need to make decisions. I am disappointed in the Chamber for taking such a simple and one-sided approach to their endorsement process.
