Controversy

In response over 700 concerned community members showed up to the board meeting, filling the main conference room, and the additional room, with standing room only. Twin Rivers Adult School has a projected revenue of about $7 million for the 2009-2010 school year. Although approximately $1.2 million of the budget is "categorical funding" which must be spent in a manner specified by the funder.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
