Bonds Win Big Majorities in Special Teton County Vote
In a Tuesday special election in Teton County, all bond issues passed by large margins. The funds will build roads and provide farm work, with a notable high school bond in Choteau facing some opposition but still winning statewide. Strabane precinct votes were unanimous against bonds but not counted due to missing signatures. In contrast, Bynum showed strong anti sentiment with 6 for and 45 against. County commissioners canvassed the results Thursday afternoon.
