HELENA - Thursday will be day four of the Montana Legislative session, and there is a lot to follow.

Wolf Bills

There are two wolf bills to watch. One is an agency bill from Fish, Wildlife and Parks to enable more provisions to manage the wolf population here in Montana. Wolf hunts in Montana are controversial, so more than one bill will come forward with that issue.

Montana Commissioner of Political Practices

This is the office that enforces election regulations in Montana. There have been reports in the past that this office can be underfunded and understaffed, so we can expect a couple of bills aimed to help bolster this office.

Sen. Max Baucus

Montana's Senior Senator will address both houses of Congress.
