"We are allowed by law to collect 1% more than the previous year," Commissioner Rob Coffman said. "We can vote on collecting that 1% every year, and almost every taxing entity does. One percent of our tax fund is like $28,000 in increased revenue." Coffman said $28,000 is minimal compared with...

Davenport’s Gorillas and Reardan’s Screaming Eagles are primed for Northeast 2B battles, with Davenport heading to Reardan for boys basketball on Dec. 12 and w...
