A Gila Community College Governing Board member has resigned from the legislative task force that was formed to look for ways to make the college independent. Tom Loeffler told the Payson Roundup that “pettiness and politics” prompted him to resign.
The college Governing Board recently decided not to approve a resolution supporting the task force’s goal of seeking independence from Eastern Arizona College. All three of the board members from southern Gila County said they didn’t have enough information about proposed legislation to change the financial thresholds keeping Gila County from operating an independent college. Loeffler and the other board member from northern Gila County voted in favor of the resolution.
State Senator Sylvia Allen says she will appoint a new task force member from the Payson area. She says she is still committed to pursuing Gila Community College independence.
