The combination of inflation and increased work-from-home opportunities brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted migration patterns across the United States, the effects of which are still being felt in 2024, according to the latest Census Bureau data. In the first year of the pandemic, migration out of densely populated, expensive cities like New York and San Francisco was especially notable. Many moved to Sun Belt states where the weather is warmer and the cost of living significantly...
About one-fifth of the continental United States is currently experiencing moderate to exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Storms during this past winter brought heavy (in some areas, record-setting) rainfall and flooding to California, offering the state an expected two-year reprieve from widespread droughts that covered nearly 100% of the state from 2020 to 2022. But in other parts of the country, especially dry conditions continue. West Virginia is currently the state...

The City of Three Forks may need to change how it spends $172,000 in State-Local Infrastructure Partnership Act (SLIPA) funding. In 2023, the Montana State Legislature appropriated $20 million from the state general fund to the Montana Department of Commerce to be distributed to incorporated cities and towns as grants based on infrastructure repair and maintenance. The funding included $172,000 set aside for the City of Three Forks, which requires a 25 percent match of $43,000. At a January 2024 meeting, the City Council approved a... Full story
When teachers, nurses and coaches call to ask about air quality in their rural Montana school districts, staff at the Department of Environmental Quality sometimes feel limited by the information that's available from the current network of regulatory sensors scattered around the state. "That just doesn't feel good enough," DEQ's Air Research and Monitoring Supervisor Kelly Dorsi said. "So when we had the opportunity to apply for this Advanced Monitoring for Communities Grant as part of the... Full story
Gallatin Valley Land Trust (GVLT) has partnered with the McDonnell family to conserve their 1,591-acre farm in the Missouri Headwaters region of Gallatin County, between Three Forks and Manhattan.

Last week, the United States Postal Service announced it would suspend air service to support priority and express mail in Montana. The decision did not sit well with Montana's two U.S. Senators. In his monthly Rural Press Call, U.S. Senator Jon Tester blasted the decision and urged Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to restore air service immediately. "Montana isn't exactly a small state. It takes a while to get across, and when you have to drive it, it delays, delays, delays. For those reasons,... Full story

A state district court judge on Monday sided with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and a coalition of hunting groups in key aspects of a lawsuit where property owners had sought to compel the state to aggressively reduce elk populations. In a trio of rulings, Judge Gregory Todd found that the arguments made by the state and hunting groups that joined the lawsuit were more compelling than those brought by the plaintiff, United Property Owners of Montana. UPOM, a membership-based nonprofit that exists to promote its members’ business interests, h...
Montana State University scientists have provided the first experimental evidence that two groups of microbes thriving in thermal features in Yellowstone National Park produce methane – a discovery that could one day help develop methods to mitigate climate change and provide insight into the potential for life elsewhere in our solar system. The prestigious scientific journal Nature this week published the findings from the laboratory of Roland Hatzenpichler, associate professor in MSU's D...

Governor Greg Gianforte recently raised the alarm about a proposed federal rule which could have a "catastrophic" impact on firefighting in the state. In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposed replacing the existing "Fire Brigade Standard" with the new "Emergency Response" standard, unprecedentedly expanding the agency's role over firefighters. In a letter to a senior official at the U.S. Department of Labor, Gov. Gianforte cautioned th...

The Gallatin City-County Health Department has been notified earlier this month of a potential HAB at Hyalite Reservoir. This potential HAB tested negative for...

All other elements of the 2024 wolf harvest regulations including hunting dates, harvest quotas, bag limits, trap setbacks, harvest...
Montana is poised to become the latest state to increase scrutiny of how its nonprofit hospitals deliver community benefits in exchange for their tax-exempt status. Under proposed rules, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services plans to collect data on nonprofit hospitals’ charitable acts, such as discounting prices, providing health education, or conducting free screenings. Montana officials expect to adopt the new rules in August, but state officials have yet to set standards for exactly what constitutes acceptable giving o...
