Freeman city, school at odds

FREEMAN — An accounting mistake by the City of Freeman has caused a dispute between it and the Freeman Public School. On Feb. 19, city officials discovered that, due to the utilization of an incorrect formula, the school was one of 19 natural gas customers that had been overcharged since 1997. The error was discovered after NorthWestern Energy bought the municipal gas operation Feb. 1.
