New Funding Formula Supported


County Commissioners are giving their support in a call for a new funding model to a State grant that helps the area's most vulnerable children and adults.

The County's Terry Murray says they stand to benefit by a forumla being put forward by a directors' association.

Murray says the County would receive an extra $32-thousand because it would have a heavy emphasis on reporting which is higher in Koochiching County than elsewhere in Minnesota.

The State's funding formula takes $106-thousand away from the County.
