  • Governor vetoed bipartisan fix to Medicaid waiting list

    Updated Jul 18, 2023

    Mike Dennison KFF Health News Montana state Sen. Becky Beard thought she’d found a fix for a shortage of assisted living care options for Montanans who can’t afford to pay for it themselves — a shortage she became aware of while searching for a suitable place for her mother to live. Beard, a Republican from the rural town of Elliston, ushered a bill through the GOP-controlled Legislature this spring. The proposal would have moved more than 200 people off waiting lists for government-supported care and saved the state money...

  • The Postscript: All the flowers

    Carrie Classon|Updated Jul 18, 2023

    I was reluctant to come back from Mexico this spring, knowing it would still be cold and wet and cloudy. But I’d gotten used to looking for pretty things while in Mexico.

Then I got back up north, and it seemed like everything had turned to gray. “This is not a reason to stop takin...

    Updated Jul 18, 2023

    I’m a lawyer and interested in politics. Fortunately, I’ve been able to stay out of Montana tax law for my career, except at a very high level. Is the tax fair? Does it hurt or help those who can least afford to pay? That’s what most democrats ask. This changed when I, like all other Montana homeowners, got my reappraisal notice from Gov. Greg Gianforte’s Department of Revenue and learned my property values had skyrocketed. That, itself, wasn’t news to me, as I watched property sales go out the roof post-pandemic, when out-...

  • Supporting public lands while following the law

    Updated Jul 18, 2023

    As a proud defender and lover of public land, I have cast deciding votes for Montanans to hike, fish and hunt some of the largest expansions of public land in decades while keeping Montana farmers and ranchers on the landscape. I was recently made aware of a social media campaign soliciting money claiming to fight for interests that I support and will continue to support: local control and public lands. In reality, this campaign would only line the pockets of liberal lawyers to sue me in a case that deserves immediate...
