Loss of federal funds trouble western Montana counties
February 23, 2015 /
Mineral County has a road department of four, a population of 4,200 and a budget just north of $4 million.
When it faces a hit of $750,000 pending action from a fickle Congress, questions arise that have no good answers.
"People say cut, but I don’t know where," Commissioner Roman Zylawy said last week. "How do you make up $750,000 with cuts?"
Just as perplexing: How do you dig out by taxing a conservative, sparsely populated county that elects its officials on the premise that they won’t?
