Narrative:
An H60 helicopter was IFR doing an ILS approach to runway 35 with a missed approach of 090 and 30. He departed VFR and was turned westbound by mht. The tower called and informed me he was VFR and not requesting advisories. When I advised the tower; you do know that a class C requirement is that I provide radar service to all departures until exiting the class C? The tower advised yes; but he doesn't want advisories. Mht tower needs to learn what a class C is; and what the requirements of a class C are. Too many controllers in the tower are just allowing VFR aircraft to depart without class C services. The class C was put in place because of the volume of passengers leaving the mht airport. Failure to comply could possibly cause a mid air collision.
