Condon looks to move to Lake County

A group of residents from a small town of Condon began a campaign to secede from MIssoula County and move into Lake County. Among their complaints was the concern Missoula County didn't provide needed services (like surveying) in a timely manner and that permits cost much more.
After meetings with both counties commissioners, the group has scheduled a meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at the Seeley-Swan gym where all sides will discuss the matter.
Condon are 80 miles away from Missoula and most county services, but almost, if not further, away from Lake County seat, Polson.
From what I've heard, the "affected" residents will have to sign a petition and both counties would then have to approve a ballot measure to seal the move.
Reporter Aimee Niles will be there to see how the meeting turns out, and have reactions from both sets of commissioners.
I'm looking forward to see what she brings back.
