Proposed fee increases are coming at the right time

I support the proposed fee increases for Boundary County 110%. It is not so much “long overdue” as it is the right time. Every county employee and department has diligently made every penny count, every part, every vehicle, every computer, etc., function until it turned into dust.

Ethan Wilson - Mr. Bonners Ferry High School Participant #14

You can tell ‘cause it’s just the way it is.”
