    KMPT headquarters lease controversy

    A proposed lease for facilities associated with the planned state educational television service was questioned because it involved a Bozeman businessman who was also connected to the commission. The controversy contributed to legislative scrutiny and the collapse of the KMPT project. Criminal charges against the businessman were later dismissed, while the property owner obtained a judgment against the state over the terminated lease.
