MOSES LAKE – Big Bend Community College held its monthly board of trustees meeting last Thursday. They discussed their meeting with Congressman Dan Newhouse’s team on the topic of the One Big Beautiful Bill and 2025 graduation stats. “In the One Big, Beautiful Bill, there are some proposals in there to make some significant cuts to programs that really matter to our students and to our service district,” said BBCC President Sara Thompson Tweedy. “We wanted to make sure that anybody who was going to vote on that bill (is) aware of those direct impacts to their constituents.”
