A letter to Pete
I appreciate the time you took to visit with me a week or two ago while having coffee. Sorry to bust in on you like that.
I have a great deal of concern in regarding the Business Development Center and Jack Peters’ move to dump the College and relocate it at CDA.
If it goes to CDA, I am not willing to use CDA’s services. I hope you are not willing to support the move.
During all this time, no one has asked the people of the NMC SBDC what have they done to comply with Jack’s terms and what assistance has CDA or PISBDN provided in correcting the problem. What is the staff’s situation since Jack has left? Have they been working to correct matters? These questions should be asked.
It seems to me from reading Ramon Villagomez’s article in the newspaper that Mr. Peters should not be in a position to destroy programs for personal reasons. What is the possibility if SBA from Washington is invited to come and take a personal look?
I hope there is something you can do in keeping NMC SBDC functioning. I’m sorry that your office has to get involved in this kind of petty in-fighting. But it does affect many individuals and businesses.
