Correction
| Parcel tax, bond weighed in county“As a student here, I’m in favor of both, but knowing the eco-nomic realities of the economy and unem-
ployment, I don’t think either one will pass.
Voters think with their wallets and everyone is
so cash-strapped.”
| 30-year-old program put on hiatus“We thought that time was
needed to really do a good job of planning College for Kids for next summer so it would really meet the community’s
needs. I would hope that with enough proper planning that
we will bring it back in 2013.”
