State contribution to College will not be reduced; some additional money coming to the College
The cuts in Community College state aid in Arizona’s recently approved budget did not affect Yavapai Community College. In fact, it apparently will receive more funding from the state this year than last year, although the Administration has not provide details of how much additional funding may be received.
Sources who the Blog believes are reliable tell it that the College will receive an additional $300,000 from the State of Arizona this coming year. That should be good news for Yavapai County taxpayers.
However, the Wills’ administration is twisting arms and politicing throughout the County for at least a 2% tax increase. That increase, if approved, comes on the heels of a 4% tuition hike that will already go into effect next year.
