State Denies Poor Fund Budget As County Awaits Opinion
The State Board of Equalization tentatively disapproved Teton county’s $75,000 rest home improvement item in the poor fund budget while the Montana attorney general weighs whether such upgrades qualify as legal improvements. County Clerk Gordon Monkman notes a final ruling after Aug. 12 will shape whether the item remains. The Taxpayers Association says voters may not approve expenditures over $10,000, and past bond defeats complicate plans.
