Black Hawk Co. Supervisors Reject Veterans Burial Aid Request
Earlier this week, the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors unanimously rejected a request from the county’s Veterans Affairs Commission to increase financial assistance for burial of veterans whose families don’t have the financial resources for a proper burial. The proposal was to increase the allowance for a regular burial from $1500 to $2500, with the total amount of assistance not to go over $3500. Supervisor Chair John Miller said it was best to leave the assistance levels where they are.

Commission members had discussed the matter for several months before sending the matter to the supervisors for their consideration.
