The Labette County Historical Society makes a budget request to the Labette County Commission.

Last year the Commission gave $35,000 to the Historical Society to be split among the five museums in the county, which was an increase of $5,000 from the previous year. Historical Society's David Hubbel says instead of a set dollar amount they would like to see a quarter of a mill allocated to them.  Historical Society's Betsy Kuntz says the money the five museums receive goes a long way to keeping them operational.

No action was taken on the request. Budget season is about to start and the commissioners want to see what all of the budgets will look like before making a decision.
