Crago Expects Legislature to Save Funds, Question is Where

State Representative Bary Crago (R-Johnson, Sheridan Counties), in his weekly legislative update interview with Sheridan Media on Friday, talked about the supplemental budget discussions that were happening in the legislature, saying he expected lawmakers to put a lot of money into savings.

It was just a matter of which accounts they would save the funds in.

Crago said one thing he expects the House to move money into is the Wildlife Natural Resources Trust Fund, and he gave an example of one project it will fund in Johnson County.

Crago said the debate would not be about if the legislature will save money but in which accounts the funds will be put into.

According to Cowboy State Daily, on third reading Friday, the Legislature voted to spend an additional $550 million and put $950 million into various savings accounts.
