Supports referendum

To the editor:

I know we’re all sick of elections and can think of a million reasons why not to go vote, but this is so important to the whole community and the six counties that it serves that we absolutely have to make sure that the bond issue passes.

Iowa Central Community College has been supplying the employers in this region with a talent pool of skilled workers for the last 50 years. Sometimes I think we take this asset for granted because it’s in our own backyard. We forget that a large percentage of the workforce in the region are Iowa Central graduates. I hire a lot of people to work for me and the applicants who graduated from Iowa Central are workforce ready.

We need to vote yes to the upcoming bond election, so Iowa Central Community College can make the updates they need to positively impact our region for the next 50 years. It’s a small price to pay for the impact Iowa Central makes.

So please vote yes on Dec. 6.
