By Tia Avery On Tuesday, August 27, county commissioners voted for raising the rates for new tenants at the Community Restorium rather than seek an increase in property taxes. Commissioner Lee Pinkerton said that though he believes in the Restorium and understands the financial needs of it, they, as Commissioners, have the duty to think of all of Boundary County's residents when they make their decisions. Commission chair Dan Dinning agreed. They both also explained that Restorium rates are raised every year, usually by about three percent to keep up with inflation. This year, the raise in costs was subject to public hearing as the increase sought was five percent. |
