  • Week 3 at the Legislature

    Updated Jan 28, 2019

    The 66th Legislature Senate Tax Committee saw 10 Senate bills coming forth this week and no House bills have crossed yet in any of my committees. We did review a controversial bill, SB 96, that would put vapes — e-cigarettes — in the category with cigarettes. The bill as presented did not accomplish the intent of the sponsor so it ended up being tabled. A workforce housing tax credit bill, which would give a tax credit to investors of affordable housing units, has also been put forward. It seems everyone would like to rev...

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 28, 2019

    It was a short turnaround for the Montana State University-Northern Lights, and that turnaround took its toll a little. After clobbering Dickinson State last Thursday night, on an emotional senior night, the fourth-ranked Northern wrestling team hopped on a plane and flew all the way to Prescott, Arizona, to battle Cascade Conference rival Embry-Riddle University Saturday night, and the 10th-ranked Eagles handed the Lights their first conference loss of the 2018-19 season....

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 28, 2019
