“Widespread showers with scattered thunderstorms will
develop and grow stronger across southwest Montana and Lemhi County Wednesday
afternoon. Some thunderstorms will continue overnight, though these storms will
likely be weaker and more isolated in coverage. A secondary push of moisture
will shift the focus for convection farther north on Thursday, likely impacting
the Missoula and southern Mission Valleys. But most all these storms will be
concluded by late Thursday evening. The key threats with all storms will be
brief heavy rain with localized torrential downpours, frequent cloud-to-ground
lightning and gusty winds to around 40 mph.”
Missoulian: Appeals
court OKs tossing strict North Dakota abortion law
142128P.pdf 07/22/2015 MKB Management Corp. v. Wayne Stenehjem
“North Dakota statute banning abortion when the unborn child possesses a detectable heartbeat is unconstitutional; there is no genuine dispute that H.B. 1456 generally prohibits abortions before viability - as the Supreme Court has defined that concept - and because this court is bound by Supreme Court precedents holding that states may not prohibit pre-viability abortions, the district court's grant of summary judgment is affirmed.”

Missoulian: Government
says Social Security disability benefits face big cut in 2016 unless Congress
acts
Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs
“Social Security’s Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund now faces an urgent threat of reserve depletion, requiring prompt corrective action by lawmakers if sudden reductions or interruptions in benefit payments are to be avoided. Beyond DI, Social Security as a whole as well as Medicare cannot sustain projected long-run program costs under currently scheduled financing.”
