Hiker-Bear Incident Investigation Continues
“An investigation regarding a hiker-bear incident that happened in Glacier National Park on Saturday, July 26, is ongoing. The Mt. Brown Lookout Trail remains closed for investigation purposes. Park personnel are monitoring the area for a bear that is believed to be injured as a result of the incident. Park visitors are encouraged to report any sighting of an injured bear to a nearby park ranger or visitor center. Routinely, park visitors are encouraged to notify a park ranger of any bear sighting within the park.”

Missoulian: Clean air rules assailed as too much, too little
Proposed Rule- Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources and Standards for Modified and Reconstructed Stationary Sources: EGUs
“The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register on June 18, 2014, the proposed rules, “Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units” and “Carbon Pollution Standards for Modified and Reconstructed Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units.” The EPA is announcing four additional public hearings, in addition to the previously announced dates on June 18, 2014.”
Carbon Pollution Standards
“Power plants are the largest source of carbon pollution in the U.S., accounting for roughly one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions. Nationwide, the Clean Power Plan will help cut carbon pollution from the power sector by 30 percent below 2005 levels.”

Missoulian: Equal pay task force to meet at University of Montana
Montana Equal Pay Equal Work Taskforce
“Here in Montana, women are earning only 67 percent of what men earn, putting Montana at 39th place for pay equity in the nation. I’d match the Montana work ethic up against any other state in the nation, and 39th place for pay equity is unacceptable. Since I believe that ALL of Montana’s workers deserve a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work, I established the Equal Pay for Equal Work Task Force to meet this challenge head on.”
