Havre City Council President Andrew Brekke led a Town Hall meeting Monday night on the potential merits of Havre moving to a council-manager form of government, a question that will be on this year's general election ballot. Under this form of government most of the responsibilities of Havre's mayor would be taken over by a city manager who is hired by the city council, a manager who would handle the day-to-day operations of city government while the council handles policy...

I met Betty sitting outside on the sidewalk. Betty spends a lot of time there. She lives in the adjacent building. It is a place for older folks who need a lot of help and don’t have a lot of money. Betty lost both legs, below the knee, at some point. She wears a curly wig pulled down low on her head, and she is usually smoking a cigarette, out on the sidewalk, accompanied by a few other residents from her building. I walk by Betty’s building a lot. “How are you doing today...
This past weekend on the Hi-Line, another slate of high school football games took place. One of the most exciting games took place this past Saturday when the Chester-Joplin-Inverness six-man football team went on the road to play Denton-Geyser-Stanford-Geraldine. It ended up being a shootout that the CJI Hawks ultimately lost 46-42. In the first quarter, the Bearcats took the lead with a 50-yard touchdown pass from Tyce Smith to Ace Becker.

I spent much of last week in Helena hearing Interim Education Committee issues and attending a joint meeting with the Interim Budget Committee.

We also followed-up on the bills our committee worked on over this past year between sessions. For the most part, members of the committee are in agreement on the proposed bills, except for proposed bill PD32. This proposed bill was to update...
Judicial independence is a matter of constitutional law and American tradition. By the strict design of our Founders, our separate court system has been independent of party politics, and therefore not guided by party platforms and party leaders as are the other two branches of our government. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt tested that separation. Frustrated by the U.S. Supreme Court’s resistance to his New Deal programs, FDR backed legislation to essentially expand the court from nine to 15 members. With his o...
