Montana officials have agreed to hold hearings on the potential repeal of a state rule that has allowed tens of thousands of homes to be built in rural subdivisions without water permits.

Our government is taking over: 1. Banks — bailouts 2. Companies — car manufacturing 3. Health care — doctors, hospitals, pharmaceuticals. This is just a start and all of these are unconstitutional.
