Editor An open letter to Greg Gianforte: Mr. Gianforte, FYI Montana is not for sale. I just finished watching the debate on MTN tonight. You continue to mouth the same phony, dishonest lines that Donald Trump used to get elected that are turning out to be lies. You’ve been running nonstop television ads since the beginning of February. You are trying to pass yourself off as just a regular kind of guy, but we in Montana are not going to be fooled by a New Jersey billionaire who thinks he can buy a congressional seat. It d...
Editor, My husband and I are life-long residents of Montana. We are 66 years old and have a grandchild in public school. We care about Affordable Health Care, grandfathered water rights, a clean environment, job opportunites, the Second Amendment and access to public lands. We are voting for Rob Quist for House of Representatives. He will be a voice for all Montanans in the U.S. Congress and will come back to Montana to discuss the issues face to face with residents. Vote on May 25, 2017. Paul and Ellen Gayle Clifford Three...
Dear Editor: I am scratching my head as to how the Democrat Party could nominate someone as unqualified as Rob Quist as their candidate for Congress. I would think Democrat Party stalwarts would be embarrassed to select for their candidate someone who has spent the past couple of decades defaulting on debts he owes, supporting national gun control, promoting the disaster called “ObamaCare,” and advocating government growth pushing America further in debt. Mr. Quist may be a great guy to have a beer or a joint with, but has no...

The Havre City Council at their meeting Monday voted unanimously to set new fees at the Havre Animal Shelter. All council members were present accept Jay Pyette, who was excused. Council member Terry Lilletvedt said the fee increases come after upgrades were made to the Havre Animal Shelter to more closely align with guidelines suggested by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians Task Force. Havre Animal Control Officer Pete Federspiel said the changes also come as the city prepares to adopt an ordinance for any cat or dog p...
Hill County Park Board members will vote next month whether to approve a budget that includes, among other things, new siding for several cabins and surveillance cameras. The cabin siding and the addition of the cameras would total about $30,000 of the budget. Park Superintendent Chad Edgar told board members why he believes it is important to spend $10,000 for cameras. "We just had the most break-ins in cabins since I started this job," he said. The cameras he is eyeing have...
By Hugo Tureck, Susan Barrow, and Shane Doyle Last week, President Trump signed an executive order instructing Secretary Ryan Zinke to review dozens of national monuments with an eye towards either shrinking the monuments or eliminating them altogether. The order involves all monuments designated in the last 21 years that are larger than 100,000 acres or those that Sec. Zinke decides were designated without enough local input. Designated in 2001, the 377,000-acre Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument is subject to...
What separates Greg Gianforte from the rest of us? Geography, issues and wealth. Montana is large and diverse: 144,000 square miles, 56 counties, 537 unincorporated towns and communities, 130 incorporated cities and towns, and 118,405 businesses — 3078 large; 115,326 small. At the same time, Montana has only three members of Congress to represent our wide social, economic and geographic diversity. If Greg Gianforte is elected to Congress, for the first time in Montana’s 128-year history, two of our three Congress members wou...
The 65th Montana Legislation finished up work Friday. I was most fortunate and honored to have served all of you in District 14.

There are many I want to thank for the opportunity: First of all, thank you to those who called convincing me to put my name in for the open Senate seat. Then, much appreciation to the central committees for advancing me to the top three. Lastly, thanks to the commissioners from the four counties I...
