That’s why, after a decade of primarily being a pipes and wires company that had to rely on market purchases, we are purchasing natural gas production fields and electricity generation in Montana. We are only buying resources that benefit our customers and our shareholders. We have been asking, and continue to ask, the Montana Public Service Commission to include these resources into rates, meaning that the p... Full story
I try to be cognizant of the three-day rule when I am a guest, whether I'm visiting with friends or family. After three days, fish or guest, one stinks.

There is a slight difference when one is a paying guest, such as I am at the hotel in Hot Springs where I spend hours each day soaking in steaming pools, sleeping, reading and healing. Just this morning when I was warming a chair in front of the fireplace,... Full story
The Montana Commissioner of Political Practices office has always been something of a hero to us. The tiny office with a small staff has been responsible for monitoring campaigns throughout the state to determine if they are following Montana’s fair, but rather strict, rules and regulations. The governor appoints the commissioner, so it is almost certain that he or she will be accused of political bias in the decision-making process. So, it is likely that will be the case this week. Commissioner Jonathan Motl ruled that he fo... Full story

With Congress passing a bill, and President Barack Obama signing it into law, to reopen government and raise the federal debt ceiling, local federal operations should be moving back toward normal, although offices still seemed to be closed in the region this morning. The members of Montana’s congressional delegation all praised the reopening of the government and preventing a default on U.S. debt payments, although freshman Rep. Steve Daines, R-Mont., who voted for the bill, decried it as a lost opportunity. After 16 days o... Full story

If ever a team needed a bye week, it might have been the Montana State University-Northern Lights. MSU-N opened its season all the way back on Aug. 29 in Dickinson, N.D., and played four of its first six on the road. So even though byes can be somewhat disruptive to a team's momentum, Northern's week off this past week was productive. MSU-N came into its bye week off a tough loss at Rocky Mountain College two weeks ago, and will come out of the bye with its final road trip of... Full story
