October Community Conversation Part 6: Lincoln County Commissioners

Jerry Bennett, Lincoln County commissioner for the Troy district, spoke about fiscal successes of the Lincoln County Commissioners over the past few years, as well as concerns on the horizon.


Bennett said Lincoln County is one of the few counties in Montana that doesn’t levy property taxes to maintain roads, but future costs could exceed available funds.

He also talked about the importance of volunteering, focusing on the shortage of help for the county’s volunteer ambulance services. Bennett said that the commissioners are looking into a countywide assessment of EMS needs.
