3:30 p.m. Hill County Commission Chair Mark Peterson said the commission declared the county a disaster at 11:25 this morning. That could help the county government and residents access alternative funding to help pay for the damage caused by flooding, he said. In Blaine County, the government this afternoon released a statement that Milk River and its tributaries are flooding throughout that county and issued a list of roads that are closed due to flooding: Highland Road...

Community diversion and re-entry programs rehabilitate offenders, save state tax dollars, and prevent mass incarceration. These programs help drug and non-violent offenders obtain treatment and get a job, rather than emerge from prison as hardened criminals. That much is clear.

Indeed, Native people constitute around 7 percent of Montana’s population but account for 21 percent of the s...
As we move further away from the governor’s rejection of CoreCivic’s offer, I believe it is imperative that Montanans understand the true nature of the deal our governor inexplicably refused to take with the private U.S. prison operating company. CoreCivic’s final offer was for a two-year contract extension at a daily rate of $75.48 per inmate. Given that the state can house up to 600 prisoners in Shelby, the maximum total value of the contract extension would have been approximately $33 million. In exchange for this new d...
