Commissioners Move to Withhold Funds from College
Cheyenne County commissioners directed Treasurer Milt Nissen to withhold funds from the Western Nebraska Technical Community College Board until possible legal action at the January 8 meeting. Nissen warned he could face a lawsuit if funds are distributed before a court decision on the one mill levy contested in court. The suit, joined by nine Panhandle counties including Cheyenne, challenges a one mill levy alleged to violate a constitutional amendment barring state taxation for functions when other taxes exist.
