Once is hard enough, but for consecutive years? That's what the Montana State University-Northern Skylights have accomplished - they've managed to now be a part of March Madness four straight times. And while any trip to the NAIA Women's National Tournament is an exciting one, to do it over and over like the Skylights have, it's become something very special.

Every two years, when the Legislature meets to weigh and discuss the many issues that affect Montanans, the Senate Energy committee, which we serve on, has to shape the policies that will determine Montana’s energy future. It’s disheartening to report that this session the Senate Energy Committee has decided that energy future should rely on outdated resources that could leave a legacy of polluted water and air. The delegates to the 1972 state constitutional convention had the foresight to establish that Montanans have a con...
Montana is blessed with vast landscapes of public lands. Our great outdoors attracts millions of visitors each year and is part of why I love Montana so much. And in Montana, conversations about our public land often go hand in hand with talking about the federal government. The federal government owns 28.9 percent of Montana. A robust public discourse about access to our public lands is healthy and more important than ever. There exist serious concerns that I would like to share with you. The Property and Environment...

By BOBBY CAINA CALVAN, Associated Press HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana budget committee rescinded Friday more than $11 million in spending cuts for higher education that could have meant a steep rise in tuition at university campuses.
