GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ The USPS announced it would work with the Department of Government Efficiency to reduce operations and cut 10,000 postal jobs nationwide, sparking a protest in Billings.

- ➤ Billings officials warned that a bipartisan property tax relief bill will cause a $6.5M to $7M revenue shortfall next year and force deep cuts to services such as 24 police officer positions, 18 to 20 fire roles and 20 other city jobs—an issue made worse by a charter that stops tax rate changes. Lawmakers plan to amend the bill by shifting taxes to short-term rentals, second homes and large companies to ease the cuts. KTVQ
