Gratiot County money shifts to highest rate banks
Four Gratiot County banks offer three percent on monthly balances for idle county funds. Treasurer Munson may place cash where it yields taxpayers the best return, potentially saving over two thousand dollars yearly. The county board argues it cannot dictate deposit choices. Legislative notes discuss Michigan National Guard armory funding, officer promotions, drill pay, and the convict labor dispute tied to chair making at the Jackson reform school.
