Sorry to bust in on you like that.<\/p>\n<p>I have a great deal of concern in regarding the Business Development Center and Jack Peters&#8217; move to dump the College and relocate it at CDA.<\/p>\n<p>If it goes to CDA, I am not willing to use CDA&#8217;s services.  I hope you are not willing to support the move.<\/p>\n<p>During all this time, no one has asked the people of the NMC SBDC what have they done to comply with Jack&#8217;s terms and what assistance has CDA or PISBDN provided in correcting the problem. What is the staff&#8217;s situation since Jack has left?  Have they been working to correct matters? These questions should be asked.<\/p>\n<p>It seems to me from reading Ramon Villagomez&#8217;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?<\/p>\n<p>I hope there is something you can do in keeping NMC SBDC functioning.  I&#8217;m sorry that your office has to get involved in this kind of petty in-fighting.  But it does affect many individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Del Benson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I appreciate the time you took to visit with me a week or two ago while having coffee.
