Clackamas Community College considers cutting programs
In effort to save $1.3 million, theater, nursing, horticulture and more are on chopping block
Clackamas Community College is considering cutting or reducing programs including theater, nursing, horticulture and many more.
The potential cuts come as the college is looking to reduce its budget by $1.3 million for the next fiscal year, according to spokesperson Lori Hall.
Clackamas has a structural budget deficit, Hall said, and has not seen enough revenue in recent years to cover the cost of operations because of declining enrollment, insufficient funding from the state and increasing expenses such as the Public Employees Retirement System.

Democrats devoid of independent thinkers
I will never vote for a Democrat again.
I am a conservative Republican, but five times I have voted for a Democrat. The Democrats are the big tent party, with a wide range of Democrats from moderate Democrats to extreme radical Democrats. You would expect there would be a few strays when it came time to vote, but no, they vote in lockstep together.
There are no independent thinkers in the Democratic Party at vote time. You read all the time about needing only a certain number of Republicans to change their votes to win a vote, (but) it is never about Democrats changing their votes.
