While much of the focus in the Oregon Legislature has been on the controversy surrounding the K-12 education budget, community colleges are voicing some of the same concerns with proposals for their budget as K-12 officials are.  The Ways and Means co-chairs budget calls for community colleges to receive $535 million in the upcoming biennium, which is short of the $650 million those schools say they need to meet state educational and employment goals.  Republican Oregon 59th District Representative John Huffman is hopeful the CC budget can reach $550 million.  The Ways and Means co-chairs proposal is $35 million above what former Governor John Kitzhaber had allocated in his budget.
