Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over some of the week’s biggest headlines for Northwest Montana. 

We’ll learn what researchers on Flathead Lake have found in their testing for forever chemicals in nearby waterways, how a convicted drunk driver picked up new felony charges after an alleged hit and run in Whitefish and what census data reveals about how quickly Kalispell has grown in recent years. 

We’ll also take a look at how much the Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. has to pay in cleanup costs to restore their formerly owned superfund site. And we’ll hear about a state- awarded contract to replace a bridge in Libby, which was battered in last winter’s floods.
