If I could do one thing right now, I would wave a magic wand and have every person in Erie county say “We need a community college!”

There are so many people who matter among us - every senior citizen on a fixed income, every mother and baby, every veteran returning from the mid-east - every person counts. And if I could help each of them live a peaceful, bountiful life, I would.

But what need to do most is give everyone the opportunity to fulfill their life dreams, to have the skills they need to secure a full time job with a livable wage and benefits. We have the jobs here. We have the people needing the income. We’re just not matching them yet. And a community college can help - a lot.
