Savings? I think not!

What some folks fail to realize is that although the $5M+ funding for TESC is being cut, there is $8.8M being given to Rutgers to fund their new "Capital Campus". It's right in the budget....SO, that being considered, there is no savings! The plan calls for a reduction in TESC staff of 26, which would be filled by utilizing Rutgers staff and existing departments....why not reduce hundreds of middle management positions that are NOT necessary within ALL departments of state government? This plan makes NO sense..... TESC gives to downtown Trenton and supports the economic redevelopment. Do folks know that TESC staff and supporters volunteer each season to hit the streets to clean up the neighborhoods? Do folks know that TESC is the 2nd largest college in NJ and that currently 8,000 of their students are active duty military serving in other countries? Do folks know that TESC has NO CLASSROOMS...just administrative offices and conference rooms....where is Rutgers going to "hold" their classes? Not going to happen! Perhaps the Governor and his team should take a walk next door and learn what TESC does before writing them off.....
