Gateway Clean Up and Recovery / Tales from the Capitol

Yellowstone National Park’s northern gateway communities were expecting a busy season. After the long Covid-19 shutdown and nearby fires, things were getting back on track for the recreation industry. But flood damage has forced the closure of those entrances and they may likely remained closed through the year. Park County Commissioner Bill Berg will join us for a first-hand damage assessment, and to talk about what communities and businesses are facing in the recovery.

We’ll also hear some tales from the Capitol, as Susan Fox, the long-time Montana Legislative Services Division Executive Director, who retired last month, will join us to share her insights and anecdotes. Through 15 legislative sessions, Susan’s department handled tens of thousands of requests for information and research, and had a hand in critical legislation through 30 years of service to Montana.
