Cost of bringing Michelle Obama to UC Merced? More than $1 million

Full story: Atwater Signal

The total cost for last month's commencement ceremony at UC Merced has finally been tallied: $1,047,338.82. Private contributions of more than $185,000 added to $500,000 in unrestricted interest earnings on a private endowment fund, managed by the UC Office of the President, have helped offset the cost of the event.

Who ever authorized the over 1 million dollars to bring Michele Obama needs to be responsible to pay for it. Not the Calif tax payers. That is so irresponsible--state employees are forced to take pay cuts, lay offs and furlough days--and college students fees increased. In this economy-- so Mereced and UC Merced staff don't go whinning-- you have the UC administration to thank !!

It was worth every penny and then some to bring the First Lady to Merced. This is something those kids will never forget...Michelle Obama spoke at thier graduation. I can'y even remember who spoke at my graduation.

Are you nuts? California is beyond BROKE! How much did you pay for this trip? It was a useless venture. At least CA paid and not other taxpayers. Deport criminal illegal aliens and you might have some money.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Taurus

The current planetary influences tend to make everyone groan a bit. Life is not perfect and may be less pleasant than usual, but what can you do? Get real for one thing! That's the way it is and once you accept this, everything becomes much easier to handle. Be solid and dutiful - qualities for which the Bull is renowned - and you'll come out the other side with your halo polished. Focus on some undeveloped potential in your life and take the first steps towards realising it.
