Dr. Harold Huber, Heppner, a concerned citizen, stated that BMCC takes about one half million in Morrow tax payments each year, which brings the approximate cost for each county student who attends to between four and five thousand dollars. He de clared that this county isJ always the underdog, is al ways outvoted; that Morrow pays heavily for benefits that Umatilla people reap. It was pointed out that although resi dents of the two counties pay the same tax levy, that Morrow has a much higher per student cash value than Umatilla. "Our distance from the campus cuts our com munity use of its facilities," Huber concluded. As the forum ended, it was agreed that there is a definite need for better communi cation and development of better understanding about how BMCC spends its appro priated funds. .'
