Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester said Wednesday he is concerned about the negative impact President Donald Trump’s proposed budget could have on rural Montana. “He used a chainsaw where he should have been using a scalpel,” Tester said. “I know we need to get our fiscal house in order, there is no doubt about that, but we cannot balance the budget on the back of rural America.” Last month, Trump unveiled his first budget proposal for FY 2018. It includes a $54 billion hike in defense spending and money to construct a wall o...
My days are never what I think they are going to be. No, that doesn’t quite express what I’m trying to say. Life is full of surprises. That’s an inane cliché. My tongue can’t find the right words. I’m not in charge. At times I think I am. The joke always turns on me. My life is like my bread baking. I glance at a recipe from time to time. But I know the basic ingredients and about how much flour, yeast, sweetening, salt and butter to mix. Then I might add dry or fresh herbs, potato, egg, chopped onion. It may contain a...
A front-page article in Wednesday’s edition of the Havre Daliy News about an old building being torn down at Camp Kiwanis in Beaver Creek Park misreported the amount being paid to tear it down. The amount is $1,400.... Full story

By ERICA WERNER AP Congressional Correspondent WASHINGTON - Republicans invoked the "nuclear option" in the Senate today, unilaterally rewriting the chamber's rules to allow President Donald Trump's nominee to ascend to the Supreme Court. Furious Democrats objected until the end, but their efforts to block Judge Neil Gorsuch failed as expected. Lawmakers of both parties bemoaned the long-term implications for the Senate, the court and the country. "We will sadly point to... Full story

In 2012 the People of Montana, by a supermajority, adopted CI-166, (codified as §§ 13-35-501-504), which requires this State’s Congressional delegation to support the adoption of a Constitutional Amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s infamous 2010 decision in Citizens United and to restrict our constitutional rights to natural human beings. Only one member of Montana’s congressional delegation, Sen. Jon Tester, has complied with this law. Indeed, Sen. Tester was one of the first members of Congress to introdu...

The Key Club also would like to thank our local Kiwanis Club who support our members by sharing in the participation of service projects, fund raisers, and their financial support. It is because of the backing of our administration, local...
Editor, Senate Bill 155 is an egregious overreach by out-of-state groups to take local control from Montanans. This bill would change Montana seed laws and take away power from the hands of our local officials, which is where it has been for decades and where it should stay. The language from SB155 can be found in several other state legislatures right now, all developed by a pay-to-play group funded by Monsanto, Dow, and the Koch brothers. Well, Montanans aren’t about to be duped by a few billionaires — or are we? The billio...
One of the most important votes a U.S. senator casts is a vote for a U.S. Supreme Court nominee. An Associate Justice for the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment. That’s why a decision on who to vote for, who to stand behind, and who to stand with is so important — not only to me but to our children and grandchildren. We want a Supreme Court justice who upholds the rule of law and follows the Constitution. We want a Supreme Court justice who doesn’t legislate from the bench. We want a Supreme Court justice with super...

From Fish, Wildlife and Parks A permitting system is now available through Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to allow people to train hunting dogs in open fields and in proximity to wild nesting birds. Montana law prohibits the training of hunting dogs within one mile of nesting birds, wildlife management areas or game preserve without a permit. However, until now no clear permitting process was in place. “Hopefully this permitting process will provide clarity for people looking to train their bird dogs around wild birds,” sai...
