Woodahl to seek AG opinion on ETV moving expenses

Elizabeth Hurley chair of the Montana Educational Broadcasting Commission says conflicting advice led to requesting an attorney general opinion on paying moving costs for three ETV staffers who lost their jobs after lawmakers refused further funding. She says without the opinion she faced potential personal liability or a $64,000 wage-loss suit, but payments were approved after guidance from state officials and the commission attorney to avert litigation.
