Local 4-H groups could be in jeopardy if state Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, has her way.
Tyson, who represents our District No. 12, has proposed to do away with the current Extension District system, which oversees a multitude of services and programs, of which 4-H is its flagship.
Tyson is sponsor of Senate Bill 411, which would revert the multi-county districts to single-county entities. The change would reduce the economies of scale the multi-county districts have witnessed, plus put the burden of Extension funding back to individual counties.
Tyson wages war on Extension districts; would undermine 4-H
