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 first three people tabbed to serve on the new congressional committee on deficit reduction are Democratic loyalists, not deficit hawks.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid named Sens. Patty Murray, Max Baucus http://baucus.senate.gov/ and John Kerry to the 12-member, bipartisan panel. Murray, who chairs the party’s Senate campaign committee, will co-chair it, along with one of House Speaker John Boehner’s choices.
