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.

Following in the digital footsteps of major cities like San Francisco and New York, King County, Wash., might start publishing public data online, giving citizens access to transit information, county park events, crime data and more.

This push comes from King County Council member Reagan Dunn, who last week introduced legislation that would require county agencies to publish "high value data sets" online by June 1. King County includes cities such as Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond, the home bases for Microsoft and Nintendo of America. Dunn believes giving people access to information like crime statistics and the wastewater treatment processes will spur innovation in the region.
