Linn County conservation board handles tight funds and debt
Linn County conservation board faces strict debt retirement rules requiring full annual bond payments before day to day spending. With $117000 annual obligations from a 1965 bond and slow tax receipts, authorities feared park shutdowns in 1972. A deputy state auditor suggested stamping warrants to cover usual expenses, enabling year end solvency despite funding delays. Senators urge reform to align with other boards while avoiding overreach. Senator Hughes asks for a Nixon review of agriculture secretary nominee.
