BILLINGS - Montana's Senator Jon Tester and Lieutenant Governor John Bohlinger met with the secretary of veterans affairs in Washington this week.

The three spoke about the importance of building a new veterans'affairs facility at Fort Harrison. The new facility would house several different administrative offices, and could bring hundreds of new jobs to the state.

They also discussed how they could use money from the recent stimulus bill to expand the VA facility here in Billings. That bill sets aside $1 billion dollars for VA construction across the nation.
