We believe this web site will better inform citizens and set the record straight, said Leslie Bevacqua, director of North Carolinians for Educational Opportunity. Passing the bonds will keep open the doors of educational opportunity and fuel economic growth in North Carolina. This web site will help North Carolinians to understand the importance and necessity of the bonds.
Users can also access the latest news from the campaign as well as find out how to help.
The site also includes details on community college and university needs, how to register to vote and how students can help to pass the bonds. Across the state, many community colleges have long waiting lists for classes because of inadequate facilities. Some universities have turned away qualified students due to crowded conditions. In addition, without the bonds, North Carolina also stands to lose its competitive edge. Businesses have either delayed expansions or chosen not located to North Carolina because they were unable to get industrial training for its employees.
