All Comments:

Julie Engel, Self: This funding fs absolutely critical to Rural Areas and we completely support this.; Eric Miller, Self:
This bill almost made it last year with strong bipartisan support. The tech business community would like to see
the legislature step up and fund STEM efforts that let local schools and organizations propose and run programs
that fit their needs.; Jere Fredenburgh, Self: STEM learning should occur in our schools, not in a ‘separate’ entity.
when funding expires, program expires.; Barbara Blewster, Self: The tax payer does not need to pay anymore for
people to be trained. That can be done in apprenticeship. Only those involved pay.; Corinne Haynes, Self: No more
bureaucracies in our schools. Way too much spending with little or no accountability, transparency or student
achievement.; Sue Unverricht, Self: No thank you to additional $3million annually bureaucracy. STEM learning
should already be offered in schools. And | believe it is - at publicly funded elementary, secondary, community

college and 4 year colleges.; Vicki Smith, Self: Another bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy. STEM education
should take place in schools, not via the commerce authority or any other private-government complex.; Teri
Grunewald, Self: Stop mire bureaucracy. STEM education should only take place in schools.; Marcia Weiss, Self:
Workforce development should be done by the high tech mega profitable businesses w/in the state; this should
be a L/T investment based on tech company tax breaks & special land incentives; why is the taxpayer footing the
bills for their profits?; Carrie Heikkala, Self: Another bureaucracy for the sake of a bureaucracy. STEM education
should take place in schools, not via the commerce authority or any other private-government complex.; LJ Busam,
Self: Vote NOI; Michelle Sullivan, Self: | see no reason taxpayers should have to fund this. Make agreements with
private corporations for this type of training.; David Barnett, Self: Another pilot program? that they plan to
continue funding ad infinitum; Cynthia Sampson, Self: Education’s (teachers, counselors, etc) to develop

partnerships with schools & industry. No Tax dollars!

c) safety of the operation of a motor vehicle; or
d) safety of third-party users of a public highway. (Sec. 1)
