The Montana Legislature is debating a proposal from Gov. Steve Bullock to expand the Medicaid program to insure about 70,000 Montanans who are now without health insurance. No issue this session has generated the emotion and the controversy of this legislation. In a nutshell, Medicaid, which presently serves poorer Montanans, would be expanded to include many working poor who are not insured by the their employers. The expansion would cost the state virtually nothing for three years. The federal government, under the...
Editor: I was very surprised and disappointed to read City Councilman Rick Dow's comments and vote regarding the signing of a proclamation sponsored by Recycle Hi-Line to celebrate Earth Day on April 22. Perhaps Mr. Dow and Mr. Barrows, who also voted against the proclamation, do not realize that the positive goal of the Earth Day organization is to achieve a cleaner environment for everyone. Or perhaps they don't know about the organizations choosing to partner with Earth Day. Some of these include the American Council on...
Editor: One of the recipes in the Friends of the Library pie recipe book "A Second Helping of a Slice of Delight" has an error. My sincere apologies go to Betty Thackeray for this mistake. Betty is an excellent pie baker, and it is unfortunate this error would make her meringue recipe not turn out. The mistake was discovered just a few days after the book's release on Valentine's Day and the correction was made to all the books still on hand. Attempts have been made to contact everyone who purchased the cookbook between Feb...

HELENA — The Montana Senate has rejected former U.S. Rep. Pat Williams' nomination to the state Board of Regents. Williams' nomination failed amid criticism that he went too far when he said the University of Montana had recruited thugs on its football team. The Senate vote of 26-24 on Thursday was mostly along party lines, with Republicans largely opposing one of the most well-known Democrats in the state. State senators said they had received thousands of e-mails, both in opposition and support of Williams. But opponents p...
HELENA (AP) — The Montana Legislature is moving ahead with plans to restrict where wild bison can be moved and to decrease the size of herds. The bills underscore the division between wildlife supporters who want to see free-roaming bison restored to the grasslands where they used to roam by the millions and landowners who say the time of the bison has passed. One such grassland, The Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Reserve, is a 1.1 million-acre prairie that conservationists say is prime bison real estate, but farmers l...

Havre City Council will hear a proposal tonight that might bring the latest five-year chapter in a 30-year story to a close — a possible agreement to resolve a lawsuit the city filed against Hill County over funding for the community swimming pool. Havre Mayor Tim Solomon confirmed this morning that the county has made a proposal about resolving the lawsuit, and he is working on a counter-proposal, and he will present both to the council tonight. The lawsuit was filed in 2008 after two years of unsuccessful discussions on h...
I am responding to Bill Thackeray's letter regarding the Milk River Ranch, which is three miles from my property in the Milk River Breaks. Thackeray is puzzled why farmers would be upset at the price paid for the ranch. He contends it should only make our land more valuable. If only that were so, I'm pretty sure you can buy almost any land you would like in northern Hill County for the price the state paid. Why would farmers sell this tightly held land that they have lived on for generations? It's very simple; the state...
The immediate past president of the National Association of Realtors was in Havre last week, praising local politicians who support the realtors' cause and lauding local realtors for their efforts. But just as important, Maurice "Moe" Veissi was here to remind people of the importance of his industry to the economy and the social fabric of the country. He said the long drought in home sales is winding down. Though the home-buying recession has lasted longer than anyone had hoped, there are signs things are improving. He was f...
A Catholic friend recently told me, "What we are faced with is a circumstance where it is sometimes an embarrassment to be a Catholic," not for reasons of religion, but for reasons of church government. He went on to say that hopefully, with the selection of a new Pope, there will soon be more affirmative action in addressing the ongoing suffering caused by the coverup, over several decades, of the facts associated with priests who were and are sexual predators. Norman Bernstein Only then, he said, can we make sure that the...

Success in tobacco-cessation programs has led to a problem with funding a state program to help small businesses insure their employees, just as the state works to expand that very program. Gov. Steve Bullock and Auditor Monica Lindeen, the state commissioner of insurance and securities, say they support finding new funding for Insure Montana at the same time that Bullock is cutting the funding for the program that comes from the state tobacco tax revenues. The issue came up last week during a legislative video conference, sp...
