Montana lawmakers push counties as federal aid agents
A Montana senate and house action reshapes highway funding, proposing counties oversee federal aid projects while the state handles reimbursements and plans. A separate bill would abolish the game commission and vest authority in the governor, combining duties with wildlife oversight. Several bills passed or failed in committee, including measures on ballots, classifying taxable property, and sprinkling charge payments, with one provision sent to the legislative graveyard.
