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.

The Office of Public Instruction said Tuesday that budget cuts being considered at the request of Gov. Brian Schweitzer could lead to higher local property taxes, just as the governor cautioned that all such ideas are preliminary.

The potential impact of the 5 percent budget cut plans across state government, put together at Schweitzer’s request, began to crystalize Tuesday as the governor freed his agencies to discuss their proposals.

Other agencies not under his control were already discussing the plans with reporters.
