Great Falls officer suspended Trucker jailed in Montana in hit-and-run a smaller levy request after the first failed. They took different tacks when asked about a broad question about the city-county jail issue. Michelotti defended county government's effort to get the city to pay for their inmates housed at the county jail, saying that the city has fine and tax money to help and that it charges the county for various services. Larson said it wouldn't hurt for the city to pay a small fee, but said the bigger issue was the still "astronomical" cost estimates of the trimmed down, $9.9 million jail. Larson advocated privatizing the construction and operation of the jail, which Michelotti maintained was illegal under state law.

Larson said voters should "get two for the price of one" by electing him as treasurer, an office that was consolidated with superintendent of schools last year.
