A town hall meeting was held at the Great Nothern's Lodge Room in Malta last Wednesday, hosted by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB), to talk about a proposal to adjust hours of operation at four Montana ports of entry into Canada which would include the Port of Morgan in Loring, Mont., on Highway 191.

The Board of Trustees of the Malta School District recently approved the ballot measures which will be arriving in the mail shortly. There are two issues on the ballot that need to be explained. The Malta School District has not requested a General Fund Mill Levy increase since 2012. The $28,581.68 that has been placed on the ballot represents a 3.77 mill increase. Those mills would impact a $100,000 home by $5.08 annually and a $200,000 home $10.17 annually. The other ballot measure is the Building Reserve Fund. In 2014, the taxpayers approved...
This past week, the Montana House of Representatives passed both House Bill 652, the Long-Range Bonding bill, and House Bill 658, the Medicaid Expansion bill. The Bonding bill passed the floor with 68 yes votes and 30 no votes, and the Medicaid Expansion bill passed with 61 yes votes and 37 no votes. I opposed House Bill 658, the Medicaid Expansion bill, largely because the non-severability clause in the bill was removed and replaced with a severability clause. This means that if a court finds that any portion of the law is unconstitutional or...

Here we are starting the second week of April! We have had super warm temps this week, even the lows were above freezing! We just have a small snirty snow pile left. Snirty is a word I learned from Ivan Doig. It means dirt blown on a snow bank. A falcon was chasing a smaller bird and stopped to rest in our pine trees. He had a barred tail and the back was polka dotted. It was bigger than a kestrel and not as colorful. And I thought the snowy owl was gone to the northern climes already, but I saw...
