Please use a combination of tax increases, reasonable tuition increases, federal money from the stimulus package, and other creative solutions to save our higher education institutions. As a state, we can no longer rely on gaming institutions to sustain our prosperity; instead, we must look to other opportunities. An educated workforce is one of the most important ways through which Nevada can attract businesses–and in particular, businesses that are poised for success in a knowledge-based economy. The majority of students who go to colleges and universities in Nevada will stay and work in Nevada, but if there are no opportunities here, they will go elsewhere for education and work.
