Debate over Montana poor fund levy advances in House
In Helena legislators debated funding for the state's poor. A House bill allowing up to 16 mills per $100 property was tentatively approved for a final vote, while HB16 in the Senate would permit a 12 mill levy. Supporters say a 10 mill addition could save the general fund $381,000 and end a subsidy burden on counties, amid Silver Bow’s rising welfare costs and layoffs at Anaconda copper mines.
