If we vote it, they will spend--------Another tuition increase at Muskegon Community College, other fee hikes proposed

Another tuition increase at Muskegon Community College, other fee hikes proposed | MLive.com: "MUSKEGON, MI -- Tuition at Muskegon Community College would increase by 7.26 percent for local students, and by much greater amounts for non-local students, and numerous class fees would increase under budget proposals the board of trustees will discuss on Monday, June 16.
The administration is proposing a 5 percent increase in adjunct instructors' salaries, which had been increased by 5 percent this year.
A 2 percent wage increase is proposed for support employees' salaries.
...The 2014-15 tuition increase would be on top of a 5 percent increase implemented this year. Administrators say the increase is needed to offset declines in enrollment and other revenue and increases in operating costs.
The administration also is seeking a $3 per contract hour increase, to $20, in the technology fee students must pay. 
That fee was increased last year from $10 to $17. 
In addition, separate course fees would increase, some of them significantly."
