By Ryan Busse After backing out of two traditional debates, Gov. Greg Gianforte agreed to meet me for only one smaller debate this fall. We’ve posted the full debate, which he doesn’t want you to see, online at busseformontana.com. By Gary Busse I invite all Montanans to watch. See for yourself how Gov. Gianforte refused to explain why he jacked up our property taxes by as much as 111%, or why he gave tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires like himself. Gov. Gianforte also refused to explain why, under his watch, Montana...

Havre Daily News staff Montanans in the general election will vote on a proposal to put a woman’s right to have an abortion in the Montana Constitution That right was guaranteed federally until the U.S. Supreme Court two years ago overturned Roe versus Wade, a 50-year-old Supreme Court ruling that, with following rulings, allowed women to choose to have an abortion at least until fetal viability, usually considered to be about the 24th-28th week of pregnancy.

Published Oct. 17, 2024 May Montana be known as a state that treasures the life of a baby. May Montana be a womb and not a tomb for the unborn. Vote NO on CI- 128 on November 5th! Betty Harris Bigfork...
Published Oct. 17, 2024 Dear Editor, I am writing on behalf of my husband and myself. CI 128, using very clever and deceptive language, allows for abortion at any point during pregnancy up to the ninth month for any reason, mainly under the guise of “mental health” and saving the life of the mother. I started my nursing career in a regional high risk referral hospital on the high risk labor and delivery/antepartum unit and worked there for many years. I was the first nurse on that unit to care for a pregnant cardiac pat...
Published Oct. 17, 2024 By Ryan Busse I’ve put more than 100,000 miles on Montana’s highways over the past year, listening to people in every corner of our state. There are two issues that come up everywhere I go: The first is Gov. Greg Gianforte’s record high property taxes and the sky-high cost of living here. The second is the governor’s dangerous war on access to our public land and wildlife. While the cost of living in Montana has skyrocketed, Gov. Gianforte made the problem worse by raising property taxes by as much as...

Eric Dietrich Montana Free Press As candidate Greg Gianforte campaigned for his first term as Montana governor in 2020, touting his billion-dollar success as a Bozeman tech entrepreneur, his endorsement by the editorial page of the Billings Gazette came with a pointed caveat: Hand the reins of state government to Gianforte and his fellow Republicans, the Gazette's editorial board wrote, and Montanans would be well-advised to keep a close eye on how his jobs-jobs-jobs pitch wou...

Alex Sakariassen Montana Free Press Election officials across Montana have endured intense public skepticism and scrutiny over the past four years. Every step and procedure in the elections they oversee has been poked and prodded by citizen watchdogs, discussed and debated by conservative lawmakers, and tested and retested by election officials themselves. The task they face is a daunting and important one: continue to administer a system Montanans have long depended on to...
Amanda Eggert Montana Free Press With some studies finding that home insurance rates have ballooned 44% in Montana over the past five years, the affordability and availability of insurance have become cornerstone issues in the state auditor election.

Whoever...

As a former Republican State Legislator here in Montana, a young woman, and a proud fifth-generation Montanan, I find Tim Sheehy’s most recently uncovered comments incredibly dismissive and offensive to young voters across Montana. Sheehy has been on record stating that women under the age of 30 are “indoctrinated” and “single-issue voters” for caring about reproductive rights this election. The issue of reproductive freedom may not be necessary to him, but it is an essential issue to many young Montana women. Sheehy’s...

At a time when climate change has barely been acknowledged in the Presidential debates and most political conversations leading up to this consequential election season, it can be hard to believe we have the collective will to address our shared predicament. When we’re not feeling hopeful, it can be hard to muster the resolve to keep fighting. Ecophilosopher Joanna Macy and her colleague Chris Johnstone have coined the term “active hope” as a way to address this challenge. They explain that “hope” is not a noun but a verb, s...
