Advisory board's overspending has no effect on Shoshone taxpayers

WALLACE –– The Shoshone Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) held a hearing recently to discuss reopening their budget to approve funds that were spent by the Shoshone County Snowmobile Groomers Advisory Board (SGAB). 

Similarly to the Shoshone County Ambulance Service District, the SGAB is an independently governed entity that Shoshone County manages the budget for. 

The county’s budget reflects the SGAB’s annual monetary needs, but unlike the ambulance service district, none of the funds budgeted for the SGAB is levied from local taxpayers.
