WALLACE –– The Shoshone Board of County of Commissioners approved a bid for a wage study on Wednesday morning.
A wage study has been discussed for several years, but those conversations intensified over recent months as Shoshone County has worked toward navigating a potential multi-million-dollar budget shortfall. That shortfall, coupled with discussions of potential wage freezing for county employees has many residents concerned with how the county is spending its funds.
