2004: Will it be full of drama?
Camelot: When the last Delta College
bond passed in 1969, we built a
splendorous citadel for higher
education. The castle has become a
little leaky and drafty over the years
but its regal aura and usefulness as an
intellectual hub and economic
foundation are still sturdy. If 55
percent of the voters will support the
proposed $250 million bond, we will
not only fix up the Stockton campus,
but may have a north county learning
center serving Lodi and Galt.
We expect the knights of good sense
will rally to the cause of Measure L on
March 2.
