Great Falls city, county officials meet with legislators to talk about their needs

Officials from the Montana state legislature, the Great Falls City Commission and the Cascade County Commission got together on Tuesday to put forth issues that the city and county want the legislature to consider during its next session.

At the Joint City/County Commission and Local/Regional Legislators Special Work Session, commissioners and other stakeholders discussed issues such as housing, community development, workforce, Malmstrom Air Force Base, taxes and more. The goal was to get the ball rolling toward drafting legislation ahead of the session so that legislators can address the most prevalent concerns.
