Attorney General OKs Silver Bow Jail Loan Despite Silent Vote
The Montana Attorney General's first opinion to Silver Bow County says a photo finish election with most voters silent can still authorize issuing bonds for a new county jail. It cites precedent that absence at a properly called election does not defeat the measure and that silence should not thwart public debt. The ruling references US Supreme Court language on absent voters and notes the county may proceed with bond issuance.
