A proposal to have the state contribute funding to support Lake County's law enforcement services on the Flathead Indian Reservation has passed the Montana Senate.
A proposal is still moving forward at the Montana Legislature to have the state contribute some funding to support Lake County’s law enforcement services on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
Leaders from Lake County were in Helena Thursday, making their case that the state should contribute funding to support law enforcement services on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
The decision to withdraw has financial and logistical consequences for the state and could prompt criminal jurisdiction over tribal members on the Flathead Reservation to change hands.
