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.

Graduate students at Montana State University are planning to join a national "walk out" on Wednesday to protest a tax reform bill in Congress that would require them to pay income tax on their tuition waivers.

"We make a pretty meager salary," Will Wright, 28, a doctoral student in history at MSU, said Monday. "For a lot of us, myself included, if the House version passes, it’s going to be a tremendous financial burden, and it may mean I exit graduate education."
