GCC independence bill moves on to AZ House

(Editor's note: Tom Loeffler is a member of the Gila Community College board of directors.)

To all working for Gila Community College independence:

SB 1213 has been moved over to the Higher Education, Innovation and Reform Committee in the House where it will be heard shortly (don't know the exact day yet). Senator Sylvia Allen will introduce it at the hearing.

We did a great job of e-mailing senators and now we need to do it all over again for the House committee. For anyone who did not hear the Senate results, it was 25 yes and only 4 no, thanks to you.


Over the next few days if you could e-mail ALL the members of the committee (if possible) indicating your support for independence that would be appreciated. If we can get this bill through the House we're quite sure the Governor will sign it.

Thanks for any help you can give.
