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.

Gov. Jon Huntsman has the right idea about funding for public education. The entire system needs a significant boost, and teacher pay should be the top priority.

Utah’s low salaries mean too many teachers are leaving the profession or the state; Utah started this school year 173 teachers short.
