After his 2013 album "Set You Free" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Gary Allan should have had it easy. And by all appearances, he would. The album's first single "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)" sold 2 million copies, topped the country charts, and earned the admiration of Maya Angelou. "There's a country song out now which I wish I'd written, that says, 'Every storm runs out of rain,'" the celebrated poet and civil rights activist told an interviewer. "I'd make a sign of that if...

In an effort to promote local businesses, the Three Forks Chamber of Commerce is working on a project to place banners on the power polls on Main Street.

Bryant told the Council that the decision to start the “new and exciting campaign” was made after they were made aware that marketing was a barrier to getting new businesses to join or retaining current members. “In response, we want to...

Thousands of signatures for constitutional initiatives are in legal limbo after Montana’s top election official abruptly changed the standard for determining which voters are eligible to sign a ballot petition. The move to not permit signatures from voters listed as “inactive” comes as county election administrators around Montana are vetting stacks of signed petitions submitted by the sponsors of three distinct proposals that could appear on the November ballot: CI-126 and CI-127, which deal with statewide election reform, and CI-128, which...
While litigation continues, the Montana Office of Public Instruction can continue administering a new education savings account program for students with special needs. A state judge in Helena last week denied a request to block the new law that authorizes the program. That request was presented earlier this year by the Montana Quality Education Coalition and Disability Rights Montana as part of a lawsuit challenging House Bill 393, which established the savings accounts and was passed by Republican lawmakers in 2023. The two organizations argu...

On July 12, 2024, at approximately 8:43 PM, officers were dispatched to a report of a male who had been struck by a vehicle in the Gallatin Valley Mall Parking lot.

The suspect, later identified as Keinan Carrier, age 21 of Bozeman, was soon located at his residence nearby but refused to exit the residence. A crisis negotiator from the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office was able to gain compliance and he was subsequently taken i... Full story
It's a startling find straight out of the dark depths of sci-fi horror: Aboard the International Space Station, NASA discovered 13 strains of a superbug, a multidrug-resistant bacterium. Its name? Enterobacter bugandensis. Enterobacter Bugandensis While that moniker might not roll off the tongue, the bug is no joke. Having mutated in the extraordinary (and extraordinarily isolated) environment of outer space, the microscopic oddity is thus genetically distinct enough from its terrestrial...

Fewer mail ballots were rejected for voter errors overall in this year's primary election, a Votebeat and Spotlight PA analysis shows, an achievement that the state credits to a modified ballot return envelope designed to help voters avoid mistakes. But state data points to a new type of voter mistake affecting ballot rejections. And the way counties have diverged in their response to this error has opened up a new avenue for litigation ahead of November's presidential contest. Compared with...
