[Lugstuff] Regarding a new Meeting Place.

[Patrick Roanhouse]

You would think that being it is a community college and funded by tax  
payers that they would fully open it to the use of the community at  
large for use when not full. For town meetings or other organizations.  
They really should pass a a state bill to allow community college to  
be used when public locations are not available to public community  
organizations.
