Montana to sell surplus property on Net

Idea was brainchild of two state employees who were awarded palladium coins for their efforts

The state of Montana may soon be selling surplus desks, cars and even heavy equipment at an on-line auction house, thanks to a money-savings tip from two state employees.

The idea, the brainchild of two Department of Public Health and Human Services employees, earned the pair the first awards in the governor’s Efficiency Award Program, given out Thursday on the Capitol steps.

"We could get a much higher return if we put these items on eBay," Schweitzer said, shortly before giving both Brian LaMoure and Darren Steiner engraved palladium award coins made from ore mined at the Stillwater Mine near Nye.
