Local pet care company expands across Montana

Happy Tails 406, a locally owned pet-care company, has seen exponential growth since Veronica Clarno started it five years ago. Clarno started Happy Tails 406 in hopes of offering a personal and trustworthy approach to pet care in the valley. “I just wanted to do something big for my community and I saw the lack of pet services,” Clarno said. Her main goal in starting the business was to be able to provide trustworthy, reliable services to the community, she said. Clarno admits the early days of the business were tough. She spent a lot of time finding a way to market that worked specifically for her and the company. She has since hired five additional staff members to help provide pet care services throughout the Flathead Valley. Happy Tails 406 offers a variety of at-home services for dogs and cats such as check-ins, administration of medication, walking and feeding. They also offer pet taxis to transport animals, as well as overnight care. Even though the Happy Tails 406 team has grown, Clarno is proud to continue working daily with the animals. Clients use a pet portal to easily schedule services and check in on their animals. “The ability for

DOJ reviews PSC vote dispute in Northwestern rate case

Billings, Mont. — Montana investigators are reviewing a dispute over how a Public Service Commission vote tied to Northwestern Energy rate increases was recorded before those increases took effect in 2026. Commissioners voted on parts of the rate case in November 2025. The dispute centered on whether that counted because the final order was not written until later. Commissioner Randy Pinocci, R-Great Falls, acknowledged voting yes on amendments in November 2025. He explained that he emailed a no vote the following month because he wanted more information before the final plan was published. Pinocci described what he believed happened after that email. “I'm notified that they changed my no vote to a yes vote,” Pinocci said. “And I said, well, they can't do that because I put it in writing an email that I'm a no, I would have to have put it in writing that I've changed my mind back to yes.” Former commissioner Brad Molnar agreed. Emails showed Molnar requested a special work session so the commission could hold a public vote on the final document, which he maintained never happened. Molnar described why he disputed the process. “Nobody said, 'I make a motion that we accept the
