This week, host Taylor Inman goes over some of the top headlines for Northwest Montana, including an announcement from PacifiCorp that it plans to dispose of the Bigfork dam, which has been part of the Swan River since the early 1900’s. 

We’ll get the full results of a ruling made in favor of a father and son in a Title IX lawsuit filed against Kalispell Public Schools, as well as what a judge in Lewis and Clark County has to say about his pause on a contested water permit in a large luxury development in Lakeside. 

We’ll see what the Glacier Institute has been up to, as the nonprofit jumps into a busy summer season, as well as what Community Action Partnership of Northwest Montana has planned for an RV park located near their office in Kalispell. 

And we’ll get details about an investigation happening in the Hot Springs School District, where local authorities are looking into allegations of a male teacher inappropriately touching female students.
