Tax Levy Rules Spark County Debate in Humboldt
A Humboldt county tax levy dispute highlights limited quarterly board meetings under current law. Commissioners pressed for monthly meetings, arguing the 1891 statutes constrain yearly budgeting and levy timing. The January levy under law forces the board to act in January with expenses borne by members. Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown draw curious visitors, with joss house decor and gambling nearby. Cour d'Alene mining remains strong with five stamp mills active and a $4000 gold ore sample from Golden Chest.
