Did you know? Community colleges in Arizona are capped on spending based on a formula from over 40 years ago, limiting their ability to meet today’s educational needs. Voting "YES" on Propositions 402 & 486 will update this outdated limit, allowing colleges to use existing funds for high-quality programs. educationforwardarizona.org/…
