News Buffet: Brown v. Schweitzer, Butte Hit-and-Run, Candy Clarification

By Beacon Staff

Good morning and Happy “Lose Your Entire News Buffet First Draft” day.

State Sen. Roy Brown, R-Billings announced he will challenge Gov. Brian Schweitzer in the 2008 election. A 20-year-old Butte man was charged in a hit-and-run that killed a girl over the weekend and left two girls hospitalized. The state Department of Corrections is rocked by an investigation revealing racist and sexually explicit e-mails, including a picture of a naked child, implicating some 47 employees. A new federal appeals court panel will scrutinize the findings of an earlier panel that cracked down on W.R. Grace & Co., in the government’s suit against the company for asbestos poisoning in Libby. The bill for the 2007 wildfire season totals $107 million, with the state on the hook for about $43 million.

Keriann Lynch checks out the new business park in Whitefish, and blogs about her affection for bizarre feats of athleticism.

And finally, the Washington Post helps people match their personality with the best kind of candy to give out to trick-or-treaters tomorrow night. Thank you, one and all, for enduring the lamest News Buffet ever.
