Editor, At least four times this last legislative session, the Republican majority showed us that they do not trust Montanan voters to decide their own future. HB 176 eliminated same-day voter registration. Originally passed by a bipartisan Legislature in 2005, a majority of Montana’s voters affirmed their support of this voting right on the ballot in 2014, when 57% of us voted to keep same day voter registration. The 2021 Legislature took that right away. HB 273 took away our right to vote on approval of nuclear energy p...
Turned out to be a surprise party at my house, planned by Ana and Leo, unbeknownst to either myself or Michelle. I knew Ana and Michelle were coming over. I’d asked them if they would accept a lovely tooled leather stool that had no acceptable place to live in my home but I thought it would have several spots it would like to live at their place. Michelle said they had to be in town so would stop by to get the stool. I’d considered asking Michelle if she’d bring her espre...

From Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks TOWNSEND — Waterfowl hunting opportunities will be limited on the Canyon Ferry Wildlife Management Area this year during both the youth and general waterfowl seasons due to ongoing extreme drought.

From Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks HELENA — The 2021 Black Bear Regulations booklets contain language about a requirement for hunters to wait 24 hours after the bear license is issued to hunt bears. This is no longer accurate. The 2021 Montana Legislature eliminated the requirement. Because the regulations were printed before the Montana Legislature changed the statute, the information is outdated. The regulations posted on the FWP website are current....
