Good morning, Billings.

The lawsuit to force repairs at Colonial Apartments in downtown Billings will move forward despite owner John Skauge’s death and the trial date is now uncertain as the court decides on his estate representation.

A woman from a nursing home was arrested in South Dakota for custodial interference and a father-son pair stopped a gun theft at Billings Heights Walmart on June 4.

Today, a Crow Agency woman named Micah Taryn Faith LaForge pleaded guilty to making false statements during an investigation of a shooting that left a victim dead at IHS Crow/Northern Cheyenne Hospital on January 18; her false report delayed key evidence collection for more than 15 hours. She faces up to 5 years in prison — a $250,000 fine and 3 years of supervised release, with sentencing pending.

Montana cattle producers can file claims to get a share of an $83.5 million settlement with JBS Foods after a lawsuit said price fixing kept their earnings low since June 2015—producers must file by Sept.15 to keep their names secret.

Billings voters will choose a new mayor from four candidates and elect five council members in upcoming elections.

The contest features competitive races in all five wards — a move that will shape the city’s leadership.

Senators Daines and Sheehy support the budget bill but did not confirm if they would back it should provisions for public land sales be added—leaving questions among local officials.

A former BLM director warned that selling up to 2 million acres of public land could permanently alter Montana's public lands.

The City of Billings is asking residents to take a public survey on expanding the 21st Street underpass because its eight-foot clearance stops large vehicles and emergency services from using the route—causing issues with drainage and pedestrian access.

The survey opened June 9 and will close on June 30 as the city decides if federal transportation dollars will fund raising the clearance to between fourteen and sixteen feet.

The Billings Clinic Classic will raise funds to expand palliative care and support local patients.

The event’s theme — The Great Classic — honors the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby.
