ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Knudtsen, Durbin, Havercroft

For the past four years, I’ve watched our wonderful college circle the drain with Todd Banducci at the helm, and then dive straight toward losing accreditation with the intolerable Greg McKenzie as board chair. Despite their efforts, our college has flourished under the leadership of President Swayne. Yet, accreditation remains at risk due to the many irrational and unjustified actions of the KCRCC “rated and vetted” trustees.

Let’s end this fiasco with one, powerful blow to the KCRCC political chaos machine: Vote for Eve Knudtsen, Rick Durbin, and Mary Havercroft for NIC Trustee. Unlike their opponents, these long-term, conservative Idahoans respect education, the public process, and your taxpayer dollars. Vote to Save NIC on Nov. 5!
