Mineral County sends tax bill to Forest Service
The Secretary of Agriculture who oversees the U.S. Forest Service, will be receiving a property tax bill from Mineral County this year. County Commissioners Laurie Johnston, Roman Zylawy, and Duane Simons signed the letter requesting property tax revenue for 2017. The “historic letter” as defined by House District 14 Representative, Denley Loge, describes the plight Mineral County is facing as options to fund the county have dried up.
