County Division Ballot Planned In Billings County
Billings county commissioners approve a petition by 400 residents to put the issue of further county division on the general election ballot this fall. Four years ago a similar bid to create Golden Valley and Slope counties failed for Slope and Golden Valley but succeeded for the former. Slope remained part of Billings. If Slope becomes a separate county, Marmarth and Amidon will seek the county seat with Amidon hoping for a railway extension.
