“We as an alumni association will try as much as possible not be partisan or take side with anyone. But the fact remains that the school needs funding. We are again pleading with the two governors to fulfill their responsibilities. Any of the two owing should please pay up and stop playing politics so that the school can run smoothly. This would help to save the issue from turning to a big one.
