From Ann Goldenberg, executive director of the Tampa Educational Cable Consortium, on the Hillsborough County Commissionâ€™s vote to not fund the Education Channel:

Dear Friends of The Education Channel,

I am very disheartened to bring you the news that the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) voted to zero fund TECC on July 31. Current public perception is that we have been "saved" by the Hillsborough County Government TV offer to produce and air our signature programs: School Board meetings, Math Homework Hotline and the Superintendent's Forum. Nothing could be further from the truth.
