Supporting Higher Education
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
There are many factors that students consider before choosing a college or university. Community colleges and two-year schools offer benefits such as proximity to home or less time between starting school and getting a degree. The U.S. Department of Education noted while tracking a selection of first-time community college students in 2003, that only 15.3 percent of students who planned to transfer to a four-year school actually did so. That is where Senate Bill 455 will make an impact. A common problem in higher education is transferring credits between colleges.

BUTLER CITY COUNCIL MEETING-FEB 7, 2012
In Butler City Council news... the Council is still working on Butler's financial needs and how to cope with them. We'll keep you posted.
The City of Butler's Public Works Department is a 24/7 situation, if there ever was one. It takes in over 252 million gallons a year, and puts out, available to you, over 314 million gallons! It boggles the imagination.
The water and sewer report for the past year from Public Works Director Trent Diehl, shows that they stay busy. They've been sealing the main building for energy efficiency and it's their job to remove trees that cause electrical problems during ice and wind storms.
