Good morning, Bozeman.

Bozeman’s annual Run to the Pub is expected to draw over 2,000 runners this St. Patrick’s Day weekend with early street closures for both the 10k and half marathon races (the 10k begins at 9:45 AM and the half marathon at 9:30 AM).

Bozeman Mayor Terry Cunningham, a veteran of the race for 18 years, says the event supports local nonprofits and offers free drinks to runners aged 21 and older (sign-ups remain open).

After years of reconstruction, Gallatin Valley Mall will reopen this summer to welcome the public with new businesses and opportunities for local jobs—officials plan to announce additional retailers in the coming weeks.

Montana State University is one of 45 schools under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for alleged civil rights violations that limit who may join its graduate programs based on race.

The inquiry follows a Feb. 14th letter reminding schools to offer opportunities by merit — schools risk losing federal funding if found in violation.

Bozeman police are raising patrols for St. Patrick's Day weekend to help reduce impaired driving and will continue extra checks from Friday through Tuesday—efforts funded by the state’s Vision Zero program.

The Associated Press reports Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to cut up to 10,000 jobs as part of government efficiency reforms while Bozeman USPS offices hold job fairs to ease staffing shortages.

Montana lawmakers including Ryan Zinke and Steve Daines have urged reforms to ensure essential mail services continue.
