I had just heard this story this past week and looked up to see if it was true. It is...his 4400 sq ft house on triple the acreage on the river is valued below my 3000 sq ft home on 1.4 acres so I pay more property taxes than our Governor as does his neighbor. I wonder what fuzzy math made that much lower value.

Bozeman residents Deborah and Tony Newville saw a 70% increase in property taxes, which now has them reconsidering the future of their passed down family home.

Please do not fly drones where they're fighting fires to get your footage! That is dangerous and the water dump aircraft cannot fly if there are drones in the airspace. Help them put out the Canyon Ferry fire, stay out of the way.

The Forest Service reminds visitors that fireworks are prohibited on all National Forest System Lands.

"All fireworks, except for sparklers (—the ordinance stating they must be magnesium-free and cannot exceed 12 inches), are banned in the city. You cannot discharge any firework within the city limits," says Bozeman Fire Chief Josh Waldo. "We want everyone to come to the fairgrounds, Gallatin County Fairgrounds, on the 4th, 10 o’clock. We’ll start the show and it’ll last about twenty to twenty-two minutes. We hope to see everyone out there," says Chief Waldo.
