Blaine County Residents!
Blaine County is officially in a burn ban effective immediately!
Per Blaine County Commissioners.

Burn permits are temporarily suspended due to ongoing dry conditions and extreme heat. These factors significantly increase the risk of wildfire, putting lives, property, and emergency responders at risk. The restriction will stay in place until we receive adequate moisture.

Today we reflect on the life and memory of Deputy Sheriff Joshua Rutherford who was killed in the line of duty on May 29th, 2003. Please keep Deputy Rutherford and his family in your thoughts and prayers today. He will never be forgotten.

Hello everybody! I know Absentee ballots are already in some of your hands but I wanted to take a minute to educate you on the Mill Levy increase that the Sheriff's Office is asking for this year. It's on the ballot for June as a ballot issue. If enough people say yes then it will be voted on in November.

I ask you to please consider voting yes for it.

The Sheriff's Office is public safety funded and has been for a decade. That means that our budget is based on the value of the Mill. Much like the local schools.

When this started, our operating budget was around $800,000. It is currently north of $1.2M. Again, keep in mind that we have not had a budget increase in over ten years.

Consider how much the price of everything has gone up in that time. Wages (cost of living), tires, fuel, etc... We cannot support our budget based on the Mills that we get anymore. That has become a burden on the general budget. This is why we are asking for an increase.

We are asking for an additional 12 mills which is approximately $173,000 annually. The increase sunsets in 10 years. It is further explained on your ballot.

Please vote yes for the ballot issue BLA-001 to get our increase on the ballot in November.

Don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Thanks you,
Undersheriff
