Abandonment of Western would be costly to state
Dillon legislators Sen. Frank Hazelbaker and Rep. James Flynn warned that abandoning Western Montana College, Miles Community College, and the Helena Vo-tech Center would cost state taxpayers. They argued the Western site sits on land deeded in 1894 to benefit the state normal school, and closing the schools would force students to higher-cost units, raising per student costs and requiring new building funds.
