From Tom Loeffler of the Gila Community College District Board:
Don McDaniel, Gila County Manager, was not really interested in what we had to say (about restricting the use of community college land for educational purposes only) - surprise - surprise. They did not accept even one of our suggestions but say they support the community college 100%.
At this point they have not restricted the deed and say instead they have an IGA saying the SLE (Separate Legal Entity) can build a 4 year college on the land. What is not defined is what is the make up of a 4 year college.
I'm told they want industry on the site as part of the make up to help support the college. (Fellow board member) Larry (Stephenson) and I will be opposing the agenda item # 3 - C at Tuesday's (Dec. 20) Gila County Board of Supervisor's meeting that begins at 10 a.m.
What can you do? Let the supervisors know you are opposed to a sale without deed restrictions, either by attending the meeting or sending them a message. We'll see how they listen to voters. They didn't listen to the college board (despite the fact that the college board is united 5-0 on this issue - including the usually recalcitrant threesome from Globe).

No matter how long and detailed a document, there will always be the opportunity for debate over intent. No contract will ever satisfy Mr. Loeffler and some others. It's like the Obama birth certificate thing.
If you see a conspiracy, there must be one.
For years the Blue Ridge pipeline approval was held up because one bureaucrat in a little office exercised his "authority" (power)
over a vast number of informed and educated leaders.
Mr.Loeffler has done nothing to improve business in Rim Country in his entire time in office. The fact is, he has killed off some promising possibilities in the past.
Except for the honor of the thing, he should be publicly tarred and feathered.
Here's a conspiracy theory for you. Go to mogollonhealthalliance.com, click on the bottom left tab EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION. And who is president of the Mogollon Health Alliance. None other than Mayor Kenny.
Noble - Any public land transfer needs 100% transparency Ask Rick Renzi the last to try to swindle Payson with an insider deal. Why not use the commercial land near the airport and leave GCC land out of the picture? There is no need to build an ASU campus - NAU, UofA, and ASU are already here with low cost four year degrees.
The Mogollon Health Alliance is a threat to Rim Country? Mayor Evans is planning to take over our lives through this demonic organization?
On the subject of the land available and the "best use" site, The reasons for the chosen site far outweigh any other, not to mention legalities and proximity issues.
Thank God there is overwhelming support for this project. Progressive minded people are in the great majority in approval.
Enough Gridlock, already!
Enough intelligent and right minded people have examined this deal in full detail and have given it a thumbs-up.
