Attorney General cites improper Montana forest reserve profits
Helena June 27 Attorney General Kelly holds that over half a million dollars from national forest reserve revenues in Montana were illegally distributed. He says funds should go only to counties hosting reserves, not all counties, and suggests aggrieved counties petition the legislature. He also states the auditor lacks authority to distribute such funds and that the money must stay in the state treasury until Congress prescribes distribution.
