Complaint Filed Over High School Addition Bond Vote
A hearing petition seeks an injunction to bar selling bonds for a new Chateau high school addition. The suit challenges the governing law’s constitutionality rather than the election tally, aiming to invalidate the May 19 bonding vote in Choteau, Montana. Plaintiffs include Hugh Robinson and others from the Taxpayer's association, with Greenan and Manson of Great Falls representing them against the Choteau high school district and its trustees.
