  • Letter to the Editor - Thank you Tester for standing up to Wall Street

    Updated Aug 27, 2018

    Editor, Last month, Sen. Jon Tester asked Kathy Kraninger tough but fair questions to see if she would fulfill the Consumer Bureau’s mandate and protect consumers in our state. Ms. Kraninger’s answers showed that she will continue the current acting director’s agenda: dropping cases against predatory lenders, allowing law breakers to go free without compensating their victims and weakening the bureau’s ability to enforce the law. Before the vote Sen. Tester said, “My concern is that if we confirm Kraninger, she will do n...

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 27, 2018

    I’m going to keep this short. Because if I don’t keep it short on purpose, I’m going to end up writing one of the longest column’s I’ve ever written, and those of you who know me, know I’ve written some diatribes before. And I really could right now, because that’s just how much fun, and how special Saturday was inside Blue Pony Stadium.

That pass was a 46-yard scoring strike to Ethan Roberts that gave Havre an early lead, one it wouldn't look back from in a 24-0 shutout win over Hardin Friday night at Blue Pony Stadium. "It was pure excitement and joy," Bulkley said of watching Roberts pull down his...
