Bannock County residents packed the Bannock County Commissioners chambers today to speak against the County’s proposed FY2026 budget. The meeting, a public hearing on the proposed budget, lasted just over an hour. Residents who signed up to speak expressed their displeasure with the 14.5% raises that the Commissioners had proposed for themselves (from $82,934 per year to $95,000 per year) while cutting funds for programs serving seniors, veterans, and the homeless.
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Jeff Hough informed those in attendance that no decisions would be made today, but that comments would be taken under consideration and discussed by the commissioners at their regularly scheduled meeting to be held this Thursday, August 28.
