Western Nebraska Technical Community College Area petitions Cheyenne and Kimball County courts to turn over tax money raised for the college. Kimball County has about $37,000 collected and Cheyenne County nearly $148,000 earmarked for 1975. County treasurers and boards contend the levy is an impermissible state tax.
