OPINION: We aren’t mad enough about PFAS in Montana’s rivers
For many Montanans, rivers and lakes are more than scenic landscapes.
LETTER: Country wrong at many levels
For those of us that have lived long enough to remember when things were different, it is so very sad to watch the death of America as we once knew it.

After reading the Democratic Party candidates’ quotes as to their objectives, I cannot believe that Lisa Morrow would “support eliminating big-money lobbying and politician kickbacks, exposing dirty money and the p…

If only I could single-handedly vote Pam Holmquist out of office in the same way she is almost single-handedly turning Kalispell and our beautiful Flathead Valley into a commercial blight.
LETTER: Questions about Bullock
Corruption, secrecy, and unaccountable. All three words describe the Bullock administration quite well. The administration gave contracts to companies with family ties to the administration. This happened with the …

LETTER: Gianforte for governor
Greg Gianforte wants local control of our schools. He is a job creator, founding RightNow Technologies, which created over 500 jobs in Bozeman — average wage of $90,000. He’s a proven jobs creator, not a career pol…
LETTER: Editor applauded for challenging liberal media
I am very proud of our editor; he has moxie. I would bet there are not 50 papers in the U.S. that would challenge the liberal media, both paper and TV as he did in his Oct. 23 “2 Cents” column. Everything we hear f…
LETTER: Vote for Perry
Before you vote, HD3, think about this potential scenario. I’m a businessperson considering a location in Northwest Montana. The state representative of one community has a long history of ties to groups he claims …
