Butte rejects leash rule to allow dogs in parks
A resident asked Butte-Silver Bow to repeal the city park leash ban. The proposal would require leashes and fines, but commissioners killed it after 27 minutes. Only Skyline Park allows dogs. Trails permit dogs, but other parks prohibit them. Commissioner Josh O Neill and Chair Michele Shea weighed discussion versus action.

Butte-Silver Bow approves 180.2 million county budget
Butte-Silver Bow commissioners approve a 180.2 million county budget on a 10-0 vote. A separate measure would raise sewer rates by 3% while water trash collection and stormwater fees remain unchanged. Officials say the budget alone should not raise property taxes. Final spending exceeds July’s preliminary 173.1 million by over 7 million from all revenue sources including local state and federal dollars and utility payments.
