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.

A national news organization examining the states most likely to go bankrupt ranks Montana 11th, an assessment starkly at odds with the increasingly optimistic budget picture painted by Gov. Brian Schweitzer http://governor.mt.gov/.

The Daily Beast, a news and opinion website merging with Newsweek magazine, recently published its list of states with the "deepest debt – and it isn’t who you think."
