The Montgomery County Supervisors passed a Resolution regarding the non-renewal of software and managed IT services for FY2027, with a Recorder’s Office exception. The Board, Tuesday (today), also heard a request from County Veteran’s Affair Director Ed Young, with regard to the Iowa Legislature, and funding to counties for Veterans Affairs.

The proposal means legislators would redistribute the funds by population, which in Montgomery County’s case would mean a loss of $7,451, or about three-quarters of what they currently receive.

Young says the cut-back in funds would mean less money for Veterans Outreach, and other local services. He said the legislature has tabled action for now, but he says they should get rid of the idea altogether, and not kick it around or take action that would affected Veterans’ services on the State and local level.
