Question of the Month

December 2002

Assemblyman Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) recently addressed the FACCC Board of Governors during its November meeting.  In his capacity as chair of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance, Simitian warned that due to the dire state of the budget, legislation carrying a state or district cost will likely be derailed immediately.  What issues on your campus or in your district could be resolved without additional finances? Recent examples of such legislation include AB 2146 (Chu) exempting intercessions from the 60 percent law for part-timers based on local collective bargaining agreements, and AB 2506 (Steinberg) mandating that a comparative chart of 403 (b) supplemental plans be posted on the CalSTRS Web site.
