The 2013 Montana legislative session is upon us.
The excitement kicks off today at 10 a.m. when the statewide office holders are sworn-in on the steps of the Capitol.
Rumor has it that at 11 a.m. a group of Montana Indians are expected to arrive at the Capitol for a “flash mob” round dance to draw attention Indian issues as part of the growing “Idle No More Movement.” You can read more about Idle No More in today’s Tribune.
