Ruestman: Newton County Avoids Costly State Mandates

State Representative Marilyn Ruestman (R-Newton) is pleased to announce that Newton
County will remain a county of the second classification.

Her office has received official word from the State Auditor that due to House Bill 1806, passed this year, Newton County will no longer be required to move to the first classification status. Moving into the mandated higher classification offers little to no benefit for Newton County, but would force many unfunded and unneeded obligations on the county.

Representative Ruestman offers the following statement: “In this period of economic
downturn, this allows the county to continue to prosper and align itself for upward
movement in the future.”
