The Republican Party is in the D.C. driver’s seat, having majorities in both House and Senate, along with having the presidency, with all of its institutional strength, and the vice president to break tie votes in the Senate. Such singular dominance over procedure provides the opportunity for excess. We’ve seen it time and again at the federal and the state level. Extreme political positions become the norm when there are no checks within the system. When one side of the political spectrum can make things happen with imp...
Congress has the unenviable job of deciding who wins big and who will be hurt by tax reform. One decision that should be easy for lawmakers is to retain the tax tool that has resulted in the development of more than 7,000 affordable homes, access to homeownership for 42,000 Montana families, and $2.87 billion in financing of critical projects for rural Montana hospitals. Private Activity Bonds are responsible for the public-private partnerships that have allowed us to invest in Montana communities over the last 40 years....

The Havre High boys basketball team was faced with the daunting task of back-to-back road games after a lengthy bus trip to the Eastern side of the state.

The Havre High wrestling team is used to having success in Butte, so when the Blue Ponies wound up winning a fifth straight team championship at the Mining City Duals this past weekend, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise.

In fact, the Ponies had to rally from a 16-point deficit in the final dual to knock off Flathead in the championship 31-28 Saturday night. The victo...

Before they started, they honored their seniors, and then put on a strong display of swimming. In the triangular meet, which also featured CMR and Great Falls High, the Havre girls...
