  • Havre lawmaker says revenue could cause special session

    Tim Leeds|Updated Apr 8, 2019

    A Havre lawmaker said declines in projected revenue could require the state Legislature to once again go into a special session. “My understanding is revenue projections are down and if (Legislative Fiscal Division) doesn’t accept those revenue projections then we very likely will end up back here in Helena for a special session, probably in the summer,” Rep. Jacob Bachmeier, D-Havre, said from Helena during a legislative teleconference Friday in Havre. Bachmeier said most of the proposals to increase state revenue were...

  • Montana drug users managing to avoid serious jail time

    Larry Lease|Updated Apr 8, 2019

    Laws in Montana are managing to let drug users avoid serious jail sentences, Tri-Agency Task Force supervisor C.J. Reichelt said Friday. Reichelt was speaking about drug issues facing the Hi-Line at the monthly North Central Pachyderm Club meeting at the Duck Inn Vineyard Room. “A first offender could end up with a two- to three-year sentence but could be deferred and end up with just probation,” Reichelt said. “Those who have had three to five offenses could end up just in a rehab program.” “It’s become too expensive t...

  • Problems with Medicaid expansion, bonding bills in Legislature

    Updated Apr 8, 2019

    This past week, the Montana House of Representatives passed both House Bill 652, the Long-Range Bonding bill, and House Bill 658, the Medicaid Expansion bill. The Bonding bill passed the floor with 68 yes votes and 30 no votes, and the Medicaid Expansion bill passed with 61 yes votes and 37 no votes. I opposed House Bill 658, the Medicaid expansion bill, largely because the non-severability clause in the bill was removed and replaced with a severability clause. This means that if a court finds that any portion of the law is...

  • Reducing hours of the Montana-Canadian ports will hurt Montana

    Updated Apr 8, 2019

    I attended the Town Hall meetings at Plentywood to discuss hour reduction at the U.S. Port of Raymond-Regway Canadian Port of which is a 24-hour commercial port. The proposed hours of operation would be from 6 a.m. to midnight. Canada — Regway — remains 24-hour. U.S. Customs and Border Protection had proposed the hour reduction in 2015, we resisted, they reconsidered and it has remained a 24-hour commercial port. We can’t rail at CBP, they didn’t create the problem, so its up to “We the People” to work with Montana’s c...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Apr 7, 2019

    Spring football is about halfway over for the Montana State University-Northern Lights and Friday night, they put their work to the test with a short scrimmage. The Lights took to the MSU-N practice field late Friday afternoon and took part in a fully padded, live scrimmage with the only exception being no hits on the quarterback.
