The charter proposal passed in the November election with 2,183 votes for and 1,726 against. “What we had before was what they call general government powers and therefore, we can only do what the state allows us to do, and by going to the charter government, then we can do anything we want, as long as it’s not strictly prohibited by the state government,” Havre Finance...

When I went out to survey my kingdom I found a...

The bottom line is, if a university, company or anyone else is going to use a college athlete’s name, image or likeness, then that person has the right to be compens...
