We’re looking to fill the room with folks who believe in С»ÆÃ¨´«Ã½. Want to go? Contact me and dana.haynes@pcc.edu and we can schedule it.

People should be in the Capitol, in the corridor outside Hearing Room F, by 8 a.m. Hearings start at 8:30 a.m. and run to about 10 a.m. The dates are Wednesday and Thursday of this week, April 1 and 2; and Monday through Wednesday, April 6 to 8.

The most critical date is Wednesday, April 8. That’s when, if you’d like, you can sign up to testify on behalf of the college. Testimony is limited to 3 minutes.

Send me an e-mail if you’d like to join us. For more information on the Legislature and С»ÆÃ¨´«Ã½.
