Editor, After enduring four years of a corrupt and immoral Trump Presidency with a similarly mostly corrupt cabinet and sycophant appointees, I had almost started to breathe a little grateful relief. That is until January 6th, another day that will go down in infamy. This seems to be an ever expanding category the United States is doomed to suffer. To my “used to be” friends, and some relatives who unfortunately fall in the same category, I should get some satisfaction in saying, “I told you so.” But my heart is so broken...

That’s how much money the 2021 Montana Legislature is already proposing to cut from the state budget to p...
