ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ A dust storm advisory was issued on Monday in McKenzie, Williams, Billings and Golden Valley Counties as strong winds stirred dust from burn scars left by last October’s fires between Ray and Tioga, reducing visibility to less than a mile. The blowing dust may cause respiratory issues and damage machinery—prompting drivers to pull off the road safely. KFYR-TV

- ➤ Lawmakers passed House Bill 1176 to cap local governments from increasing property tax levies by more than three percent per year, and the measure will impact school boards as they plan next year's budgets over the summer (Williston City Commissioner Sen. Brad Bekkedahl noted the need for local agencies to adapt). KFYR-TV
