He warned funding must avoid improper methods and insisted on full agency scrutiny.

Iron County adopts 1.5 million budget in 1977 plan
Iron County Commission approved a 1977 budget exceeding 1.5 million, trimming nearly 300000 from 1976 mainly by curtailing Valley View Medical Center expenses now managed privately.

Off-year elections save 17009, jail costs drop 4000, weed and pest funds fall 14000. Valley View now funds debt retirement rather than operating costs, while hospital revenue is not county supported. Health district seeks 18000, up from 11300.
