Taylor Letter: CWI

Having been a resident of Boise for over 40 years, I am very pleased to see the transformation of the city into something so vibrant and alive. Now learning that the College of Western Idaho is planning to turn the blight of an old Ford dealership site into a two-year college has me really stoked. When I finished high school, I could only afford a two-year college, it was a blessing. Today I am enjoying my golden years, thanks to those well-spent two years.

With this in mind, I will be glad to vote for the bond that will give the same chance to many people who do not have access to a four-year school.

God Bless America.

Robert A. Taylor, Boise
