Taxpayers

The city of Missoula says it's "not entering the monument business" but also says it will be "selling gravestones" and performing "inscriptions." Private sector businesses say the city is trying to make money after wasting taxpayer funds.

The first set of bonds have been issued from the 158 million dollar package approved by voters last November for the Missoula County Public Elementary and High schools. According to Missoula County Public School District 1 Superintendent Mark Thane, the interest rate on the bonds is much lower than was expected.
