I have talked with Gianforte several times, but feel he likely needs more truthful information on why neither the water compact nor a hugely embellished, over-riding Tester bill must not be allowed passage.

The CSKT compact, in combination...

Though he spent more than a decade in local government, once launched a bid to be his party's nominee as governor and is now running for state legislature, Republican Jim O'Hara said he does not have an ambitious policy proposal. "I am not a visionary, just a farmer who wants smaller government and less bureaucracy," O'Hara said Friday during the Pachyderm Club meeting in the Duck Inn Vineyard Room. A Fort Benton native, O'Hara is the party's candidate in House District 27....

But the praise he’s receiving in training camp, and the impact he’s making on a young Bears’ roster is anything but.
