  • Bannack State Park Dillon, Montana Loss Event: Flash Flood C a S E S T U D Y
    Bannack State Park Dillon, Montana Loss Event: Flash Flood C A S E S T U D Y In July, Montana’s first territorial capitol (and one of the most visited state parks), Bannack State Park, was inundated with water, mud, rocks, and artifacts from a flash flood. Most of the 80 historic structures were damaged and it was thought by some that the park would never recover. Within 48 hours, BELFOR was on site with incident management personnel, equipment, and restoration workers to assess the damage and begin the recovery process. Through pre-established disaster recovery contracts with BELFOR, the work was completed in just six weeks (well before the winter freeze). The magnitude of the loss, the historic nature of the properties, and the efficiency in which the park was restored garnered positive statewide attention from all major media sources, elected officials, and members of the Montana legislature. Montana Governor Steve Bullock cited BELFOR’s expertise and the cooperative efforts of the Department(s) of Administration, Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, and BELFOR as an example of “Montanan’s coming together during time of crisis.” The scope of the recovery work included: • Removal of debris, mud and rubble from buildings, roads and parking lots. • Water extraction and structural drying of the Post Office, Graves House, State House, hotels and other park buildings. • Structural inspections of park buildings. • Completely rebuilt Assay Office building from pieces recovered downstream. • Repaired and rebuilt bridges, boardwalks and fences. • Cleaned and repaired an aqueduct/flume. “We were completely blown away at how • Worked with archaeologists to find and preserve historic artifacts.

  • 1 From: Williams Institute Date: September 2009 RE: Montana
    MEMORANDUM From: Williams Institute Date: September 2009 RE: Montana – Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Documentation of Discrimination I. OVERVIEW Montana currently has no laws that prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. State personnel rules issued by former Governor Marc Racicot in 2000 prohibit discrimination and harassment on the basis of sexual orientation with respect to employment by state government, but the available remedies are limited due to the lack of a statewide statute. Bills have been introduced to add either sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, or both, to Montana‟s human rights laws in most of the legislative sessions of the past decade, including the current 2009 legislative session. None have passed despite enjoying recent support from the Governor‟s office.1 Opponents in Montana have been very vocal in their opposition to laws protecting LGBT people from employment discrimination. During the 2005 state legislative session, state senator Dan McGee stated “I‟ll never be able to support bills which try to overturn centuries of moral ideology. Homosexuality is wrong.”2 Other Montana legislators have expressed similar public sentiments, including state senator Al Bishop of Billings, who made a statement on the Montana Senate floor that homosexual sex was “even worse than a violent sexual act.” 3 In 1997, the Montana Supreme Court recognized the combined impact that the state's sodomy law and licensing requirements had on LGBT employees with professional licenses. The issue of employment discrimination came via arguments for standing to challenge the sodomy law statute: “[Respondents] contend that the damage to their self-esteem and dignity and the fear that they will be prosecuted or will lose their livelihood or custody of their children create an emotional injury that gives them standing to challenge the statute.

  • SUBSTANCE USE in MONTANA a Summary of State Level Initiatives for the Department of Justice
    SUBSTANCE USE IN MONTANA A summary of state level initiatives for the Department of Justice September 2017 Enforcement | Monitoring | Treatment | Prevention | Drug Endangered 2017 — Substance Use in Montana | 1 Dear Fellow Montanans On April 19, 2017, my office launched Aid Montana: Addressing the Impact of Drugs, a comprehensive initiative to combat Montana’s growing substance abuse epidemic. The multitude of efforts in our state to curb substance abuse clearly aren’t enough to adequately address the problem. We need something different. To get the discussion going on how we can develop a statewide strategic plan on addiction, I commissioned this report, which is a high-level overview of all the many ways the State of Montana is working to address substance use within its borders. While many dollars have been directed over the years toward trying to stem the tide, the systems they fund are not always well coordinated. We are seeing an alarming increase in the number of drug offenses in the justice system, which contributes to overcrowding in our jails, courts, and prisons. We are also seeing big changes in the way we provide treatment and the evidence-based methods for treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) that Montana has not fully adopted yet. We need to coordinate our efforts and ensure our public dollars are invested wisely to give individuals with SUD the best possible chance at long-term recovery. As this report reflects, our situation is grim: The total number of drug offenses in Montana has increased 559% since 1980. Drug violations driven by methamphetamine use, which went down from 2005 to 2010, spiked again in 2015.
