NIC: Taxpayers should be exempt from funding college

The clown show at NIC, aka the Board of Trustees majority, has once again managed to dig the accreditation hole even deeper as evidenced by the recent show cause action taken by the NWCCU. It is beyond belief that these show boats could actually achieve an even lower level of public service performance than what we have previously seen, but here we are.

I note that in my most recent Kootenai County Tax Statement, I am taxed in the amount of $431.50 to support NIC. I request that the BOCC kindly exempt me from paying taxes that aid in the destruction of a once proud institution. Taxpayers should not be expected to support public institutions that are subject to grossly defective governance and financial mismanagement.
