OPINION: We aren’t mad enough about PFAS in Montana’s rivers
For many Montanans, rivers and lakes are more than scenic landscapes.
Delgado for HD 93
By far the best candidate for House District 93 is Mr. Frank Delgado. He is a family man, a defender of private property rights, and a hard-working, compassionate businessman. I am proud to give him my vote.
What about the grain elevators?
There was an article recently about the east side industrial park plans to relocate the railroad tracks. There doesn’t seem to be any response from the public, but I would like to share my personal opinion.
Vote for Mitchell as 'conservative to be proud of'
I enthusiastically endorse Republican Phil Mitchell for county commissioner.
Where was Sheriff Curry at forum?
I attended the Flathead County Republican Women’s “Meet and Greet” on Feb. 27, an excellent and well-presented forum for getting to know and question most of the 2014 primary candidates. It was informative and very…

After reading several articles in the Daily Inter Lake about the clinic in Kalispell, which was vandalized by what some people call a religious nut, I know what this young man is accused of was wrong and he will be…

Common Core is wrong for students and teachers, too
Teaching is not only a skill, it is a form of art. When I was asked as a little girl, what I wanted to be when I grew up I said, “I want to be a teacher.”
Clerk & recorder endorses Pierson
As the current Flathead County clerk & recorder/surveyor/auditor and election administrator, I’m well aware of the challenges in providing good governance to Flathead County taxpayers.
