She said she is “deeply con- cerned” about the next term and would hate to see the program die. “My husband pays a lot of taxes,” she said, “I would like to see it (the taxes) used for something such as. the Learn- ing Centre in Nelson.” College principal Leo Perra said the college doesn’t want to spend any money to upgrade the facilities unless it can enter into a long- term agreement. Money for the centre comes out of temporary funds as opposed to the base budget. But Perra said there are some options on how the base budget could be uséd. . “The options are there for the board to consider,” h said, but at cost of other activities. :.
