County government review underway
Every 10 years, residents across Montana are given the opportunity to hold a local government review.
In June, Lincoln County voters opted for just that, and in November, five study commissioners were elected to office.
These reviews are unique to Montana and enshrined in the State Constitution. Their purpose is to evaluate the local government’s Form (i.e. organizational structure), Powers (i.e. what it can and cannot do), and Plan (terms of office, partisan vs. non partisan, etc.) to ensure it is responsive to community needs.
