This plan had been strongli. opposed by Betty lohnson, the one member of the MHRCC who had always supported RCC. Scarce-ly two weeks after her untimely death the plan was passed by the MBRCC executive 4 oniniittee. Busloads of RCC supporters journeyed to Quinsigamond Community College in Worcester to bloc k passage of the merger by the total Board. The lobbying paid off: the plan to merge RCC and Bunker Hill was halted by a cliff-hanger vote that ended in a tie. Meanwhile, the House and Senate passed a budget which included reorganization of governance for higher education in Massachusetts. This plan became law with Governor King's signature in lune 1980. Even under it, RCC remained alive and was granted its own board of trustees while the MBRCC itself was abolished. As the Yearbook went to press, the struggle continued with over 100 RCC supporters at the State House for more testimony before the Senate Ways and Means Committee. The House had passed a S30 million request for funds to build the new campus and the Senate was expected to follow suit. There was heavy lobbying going on to get the Governor to release the 52.5 million in order to allow RCC to move into the Boston Trade School, a much better temporary site and one that is very close to the proposed new campus. There was speculation that RCC might make that move in the fall of 1980. Pending approval of the 530 million appropriation, RCC might have its new campus as early as 1983.
