This past Friday was the 68th Legislative Day in Helena. We have 90 days per session to accomplish all we set out to do at the legislature, so that means we are quickly approaching the end of the session. But I am proud of what we have accomplished so far. This past week, the Senate passed House Bill 2, which is the bill that decides the state budget. The budget is split into separate sections, A through E. I presided over the debate and passage of Section A. Section A funds the legislative branch and all the essential parts...
Senate Bill 379 is a bill that is anti-jobs and anti-economic development. For a legislature supposedly focused on the governor’s rightful concerns for entrepreneurship, it’s a real step backward. Higher electricity bills will harm efforts to attract businesses to Montana. I support helping Colstrip, but not at the expense of every other business in Montana. I have been part of the Billings’ business community for more than 40 years and have served a half dozen governors, both Republicans and Democrats. In the early ’80s,...
State legislators are rushing a massive overhaul of our income tax system through the legislature at the last minute. Senate Bill 399 would cost the state millions in revenue and result in one in five Montanans paying more in income taxes. Sen. Hertz, R-Polson, introduced this bill on March 26. It was heard in committee less than a week later. The committee voted just minutes after the hearing, sending it to the Senate floor where it passed on a largely party line vote five days later. Normally a bill of this magnitude and...
After surviving the past year, 2017 seems like a lifetime ago. But for individuals with disabilities, it was a pretty memorable and terrible year in Montana. As a reminder, in 2017 Montana experienced a revenue downturn, and the Executive and Legislature responded with cuts. The Department of Public Health and Human Services experienced the deepest cuts. The Legislature made cuts to programs helping seniors and people with disabilities stay in their homes, to chemical dependency treatment, and also closed 19 rural public assi...

Out of the 317 individual male runners who participated in the meet, Soosloff finished 229th with a time of 27:45.64. "It really wasn't ideal. I didn't perform as I expected," Soosloff said. "I was kind of intimidated by the field. It was kind of overwhelming,...

Underdal is a 5-10 middle blocker, with career highs of 305 season hits, 81 season blocks, a 38 percent hitting percentage, and 89 percent serving. "I'm very happy that...
The weather is taking an ugly turn and you all can blame me. I started up the golf column last week, and since then, there hasn't been very many pleasant golf days. Still, I'm happy to be writing the local golf report again, and, we all know, we're going to have some rough weather days even as we get the clubs out and start swinging again. Still, golf is back, and it's exciting. It seemed like it was a long winter yet again, and I would be pretty naive to think the...
