This week was a wild one with a couple of committee meeting running over 3 ½ hours, needing to be cut short, and then finished at the next meeting. In my Energy Committee, bills that were closely related, often called companion bills, came to the committee. The first bill was designed to develop a policy for Montana to control greenhouse gas emissions. The idea is to set a standard that would ramp up until the year 2050 and eventually make Montana carbon-free. Or, as I understand what is being said, agriculture as we know it...

I’m not a big fan of Skip Bayless. In fact, I kind of despise him. But he often talks about becoming a prisoner of the moment and of all the things he says, it’s one of the few that actually makes sense. Sometimes, we can become a prisoner of the moment.
