Fiscal Responsibility

By Kermit F. Franklin

Candidate for Governing Board Member; Antelope Valley Community College District

This information is provided by the candidate
Commit to making the tough steps necessary to ensure our college is more competitive.
Opportunities for our younger Americans rely on a diversified, well funded, modernized, highly educational institution. Unfortunately, opportunities for our younger Americans in the Antelope Valley have declined due to the improper use of Measure R. This bond past years ago was to allocate over a $120 million dollars to the Antelope Valley Community College.

However, this money has not been properly utilized. The America we want for our children in the Antelope Valley should be an American educational system second to none. I believe it's not that we don't have the talent and the resources to create a better future in which higher education is modernized, nor is it the absence of good ideas; but the absence of commitment to take the tough steps necessary to make our college competitive and the absence of a new conscious around the appropriate role of Government.

Measure R should not only be used for athletics but to modernize our class rooms. This is one of many reasons I'm running for this board, to modernize our class rooms and to increase AVCC's graduation rate.

But I cannot do this without your vote. Remember to vote for Dr. Kermit Franklin, Nov. 6, 2007 for AVCC Board of Trustees.

Thank you for your vote!
