Linn Board Allocations Highlight State Aid Debate
The Linn County board receives a larger share of state aid per capita than the state average, with officials urging a max effort in property tax to qualify. A proposed two phase Squaw Creek project could run with a net local cost of 30000 if state funding strategies shift, while Lake Macbride expansion edges forward as opposition wanes. The commission also approves a expanded 1978 wild turkey hunt with 1815 licenses.
