Pecos Seeks Two Year College Through Community Action
Ted Painter argues Pecos can gain a junior college by broadening the local action beyond the Chamber of Commerce. A public hearing in Austin is set for Monday at 10:00 a.m. at the Crest Hotel to discuss state policy changes, with Pecos representatives ready to present. A broader coordinating committee from Lions, Optimists, Rotary, and civic groups could boost public education, manpower, and negotiating strength with state officials. Fort Stockton and Monahans are sending reps, signaling regional urgency.
