Many moons ago, when I lived on the Summit, Beaver Creek drainage was my main haunt. Got to know it, like they say, like the back of my hand. So one fine September day, MC and me, you remember M.C. whose castle was a Eucalyptus tree, decided to bow hunt up near Gray Wolf Lake. Anyway, early in the morning we packed up at the trailhead. I was pack'n Ol' Buck mule and rid'n Honest Abe mule. As we were leaving MC sez "my fish pole." Now against my better judgment I let him shove it into the top of...

From filing frivolous lawsuits to putting in place onerous regulations, these well-funded environmental activist groups will use any tactic they can to prevent Montanans from developing our natural resources. And they’re at it again. I-186—their latest ploy to mislead Montanans—is an ambiguous ballot initiative that will...
We are writing to you as doctors, parents and citizens of our shared community. This fall, Initiative 185 is on the ballot and it will have an enormous impact on the health of Montanans. Campaigning for a ballot initiative is not something we normally do – we’re doctors, not politicians or lobbyists. However, the potential health benefits of this initiative are so great, that we are compelled to act. Big Tobacco is working hard to defeat this initiative, pumping $12 million to date into our state to support their cause. You have likely see...
We are blessed to live in a remarkably free country and I am proud to have served as a US Army paratrooper in Iraq and Afghanistan. Freedom, however, comes at a price. For generations, big tobacco companies have invested billions in advertising designed to get young Americans hooked as smokers for life. Big profits for them has meant big problems for the rest of us. My grandfather was a military veteran, a smoker and we lost him when I was very young. Treating tobacco-related diseases among our Medicaid recipients costs over $81 million...
