Yesterday after  Governor Gianforte and  the State Health Department issued their rule on making Masks optional for kids at school, the Superintendent of Billings School District 2 came out with this letter stating that they will still require masks at school.

MSU received the LARGEST donation in US history to any college. Mark and Robyn Jones have become hero's, especially in the Nursing Program!

The face mask requirement will remain in effect until October 1, 2021.

For the record- Montana State University is NOT requiring masks on campus this Fall. They may want you to wear a mask. They may even tell you that you need a mask. But you are not required to wear a mask on campus. (And that's a good thing)

Wildfire smoke has returned with a vengeance to most of Montana. Bozeman's AQI was as high as 175 on Monday morning...and that wasn't even the worst level in the state.

Our own government is driving us deeper into bankruptcy, and states and localities are once again threatening the same mask mandates and lockdowns that didn't work the first go-round.

The border is open and we are excited! Here is a list of must knows when traveling to Canada!

Governor Greg Gianforte (R-MT) weighed in against mask mandates in Montana schools and also gave us an update on the fire situation facing the state. The state has now seen more than 500,000 acres burned.

What if your employer is forcing you to wear masks? What if you're employer is trying to force you to be vaccinated? Those are the questions I am hearing from a lot of Montanans. I reached out to Rep. Jennifer Carlson (R-Manhattan) for answers.

The numbers are just that. Numbers. But Montana's current 10% hospitalization rate is concerning. Here is the latest data at a glance per the State of Montana COVID-19 dashboard:
