County Budget Shows Increase in Teton Mills Levy
The County Board adopted a final 42.10 mill budget with a 3.37 mill rise from last year. A six mill boost from the preliminary plan was trimmed by removing rest home improvement requests. The biggest upturn is a two mill rise in the poor fund to cover potential sprinkler and furnace needs at the Rest Home and possible welfare fund changes. If welfare support ends Nov 1, the county may pay $1,600 monthly for 16 patients.
