Governor Gianforte vetoed House Bill 551; it would have covered the co-pay for students’ reduced-cost lunches. This would have helped both families and school districts at a fairly low annual cost.

Montana’s congressional delegation fawned over Trump’s bombing of Iran.

Senators Mike Lee (R-Blootah) and Steve Daines (R-Monotony) have introduced an amendment to the Big Ugly Bill. It would mandate the sale of massive amounts of federal lands to private interests.

With reasoning that should never see the light of day, our governor vetoed a common-sense, no-cost bill that would allow electricity users to subscribe to a community-owned solar array.

Circumventing HB 819, Missoula adopted the Pride flag as its official city banner. This upset the bill’s sponsor, Braxton Mitchell (R-Columbia Fails). He vowed to bring a bill in the next session to eliminate the loophole. This will surely be a top priority issue for the people of Montana. 

The Crazy Mountain Ranch, under the ownership of the Yellowstone Club, is stealing water for its new golf course.
