I agree Mr. David
@David, I agree, the TCC name change is a huge waste of money. Not to mention, Tallahassee State College sounds silly. If anything, it should have been Tallahassee University.
The punishment for the two Women that vandalizing the Florida Capitol earlier this month should be Free Trip to GAZA.
Squatters should be dealt with a lot harsher. Squatters knowingly enter the Property illegally while others think they are doing so legally but were Scammed. Even if they were Scammed, they need to be removed but Squatters need to be Jailed and Charged with Breaking & Entering and make it a Felony.
Just for curiosity, I would like to know what the total cost to changing the Name will be. Think about it, EVERYTHING that has the Name and the TCC Logo on it has to be changed. Signs, Indoor Signage Outdoor Signage, Name Plates, Merchandise, Vehicle Decals, Business Cards, Letter Heads, Envelopes, Card Keys, Licensing’s, EVERYTHING. Walk around the Campuses and count all the different items you see the TCC Logo on, it will surprise you.
