Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

As the state’s projected mid-2011 budget balance dipped dangerously near red ink, Gov. Brian Schweitzer gained the legal authority Friday to cut spending as agencies offered up $46 million of proposed reductions.

His budget director, David Ewer, signed the official certification letter Friday that by law authorizes Schweitzer to unilaterally reduce general-fund spending for certain state government programs by up to 10 percent.
