Quote of the Day 5/4/2015

OSSM’s budget represents less than one-tenth of one percent of our state’s budget. Chopping this minuscule amount any more is not only inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but, to borrow a phrase from more agrarian times, it’s eating our seed corn. OSSM is an incubator that nurtures our state’s most precious human capital.
