As we reported last week, the PR County Commissioners discussed and planned a vote on changing their salary from the current full-time pay of around $43,000 a year and dropping to ¾ time pay.

Commissioner Randall made a motion to move to ¾ pay, but failed to receive a second, so the motion died. This means the commissioners will continue to receive a full-time salary....

The full time commissioner pay is also held by other PR County elected officials, of which there are ten in all. For the last two yea...

The scourge of hoppers has begun to devastate pastures and fields, leaving scant grazing in its wake. In the last few days of June, a welcome dose of moisture fell across the land, pro...

By Shane Copps Just over a year ago, Montana legislators passed a bill that created a pilot program for Community Integrated Healthcare (CIH) in Montana. This program has proven it’s worth in other states and the Department of Health and Human Services felt it could be done in Montana too. Getting this bill had taken a couple of years of dedicated work, some setbacks and I’m sure some blood, sweat and tears by the group in Helena. Jesse Ambulance and Powder River First Responders were one among six services in the state to be funded to hel...
