  • Holding steady

    Sarah Pridgeon|Jun 27, 2024

    The county is entering the final stages of setting the budget for the coming year and it seems like holding steady will be the name of the game. While revenue from the mill levy has increased, other revenue sources went in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, inflation has made its presence known on numerous budget lines.

Revenues Revenue has been a mixed bag t...

The embers from the fireworks were going over and on my land, neighbor Jim’s and onto Vision Peak, National Forest lan...
