Veto will increase tuition, decrease global competitiveness

Governor Perry vetoed and will most likely force an increase in tuition in many community colleges across the state, including Austin Community College. 

I cannot believe that the governor just did this! 

This is a time in which every government agency, at all levels possible (Federal, State, or Local) must invest in the education of their citizens. In a world in which there is increased competition from abroad, and many countries are investing heavily on education, the only way to compete is to make sure that our citizens remain the creme of the crop.

It is only through education that we will be able to compete in the future, and vetoing a bill would have funded health benefits for employees is like shooting ourselves on the foot.

The benefits would attract, or help retain quality employees in the colleges, which are so necessary for a quality education.
