OPINION: We aren’t mad enough about PFAS in Montana’s rivers
For many Montanans, rivers and lakes are more than scenic landscapes.
LETTER: Breckenridge well-qualified to serve in Congress
The election this year has made me shudder for what our future looks like in Montana. Our liberty is being threatened by many candidates on both sides of the line.
LETTER: Vote for Trump if you want real change
I watched the first two presidential debates. It appears that Clinton and the media are blasting Trump for trivial statements that he has made. They seem to overlook the fact that Clinton’s inaction resulted in the…
LETTER: Don't trust politicians who kowtow to D.C.
Media ads are showing Bullock as some “champion” of Montana. Yet, he declared a month or so ago, that he has to do what Obama wants and what D.C. wants — specifically, “you must take refugees I send you.” Well, he …
LETTER: Bylaws against political signs are illegal; can I have mine back?
Cities, counties and homeowner associations attempt placing limits on political signs by restricting timelines or banning them altogether. The courts have already addressed the unconstitutionality of timelines whil…
LETTER: GOP elites help Clinton more than Trump
The Republican National Committee and GOP have no desire to help get Trump elected. The Bush family willing to support Hillary is a clear message to that.

OPINION: Supreme Fight - Airing the issues in the battle for the court
OPINION: Gianforte's history proves he doesn't support discrimination
Greg Gianforte successfully built and grew a business that employed hundreds of Montanans. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, he proved that a world-class business could be built in Montana. The spark of Right…
OPINION: Auditor seeks your vote for secretary of state
I’m a Montanan and believe that when Montanans come together we do better by one another.
OPINION: Why I'm running for the Montana Supreme Court
Our Montana Supreme Court is the last stop for deciding the most important legal questions in Montana. It’s important we get those right — not just for the parties involved in a particular case, but for anyone else…
LETTER: Dems bad for workers
I just can’t NOT respond to the unfortunately titled “Republicans not good for workers.” Mr. Shaughnessy tells us of the insanity of being fooled by Republican leadership and why we need to stop voting for “them.”
LETTER: Supreme Court crucial
The critical issue of the next president appointing two to five justices to the U.S. Supreme Court has not received as much attention as it should have. We need to have justices who uphold their oath to rule accord…
