I believe we should be making a commitment to students who are doing everything they can to gain an education and achieve their goals. This issue of College Hunger is not new. In terms of our discussing it it is relatively new. So this has been a problem for a long time. And i want to applaud those colleges that are taking the lead in trying to mitig

Proposed fiscal year 2018 budget. Members asked questions about the proposed cuts of the budget as well as to where to store the ations Nuclear Waste. The committee will come to order.
