The purpose of this blog is to provide accurate information about Portland Community College's lobbying effort during the 2009 legislature.
Dana Haynes, spokesman for PCC, joined the college in June 2007 after 20 years spent in Oregon newspaper newsrooms.
The budget for Oregon's 17 community colleges has just passed on the House floor and now goes to the governor for his signature.
At $450.5 million, it's about a 10 percent cut in what we received in the 2007-09 biennium. For PCC, it comes to approximately $112.5 million
The bill authorizing another $8 million in matching bond funds for an education building at the Cascade Campus also passed.
