The House has approved a proposal to eliminate $700 million in already-approved funding for public media. If enacted, it would strip essential services and could force rural stations off the air. The Senate will take up the bill next.

Last week a 16-bed wilderness therapeutic boarding school in northwest Montana, where boys were once made to sleep outside without proper clothing, closed. Montana Public Radio’s Aaron Bolton spoke with Lee Newspapers’ State News Bureau Reporter Seaborn Larson, who covered the private school’s closure.

Aaron joined the MTPR team in 2019. He reports on all things in northwest Montana and statewide health care.
