Dear Editor, Voting season is here again. It is a little bit like voting in the Legislature—you have to sort a few things out. Let me give you some tips I use when deciding how to vote on a bill. The first thing I do is see who is sponsoring the bill. Then I look at who supports or who opposes the bill. These two principles tell me a lot. Let’s take a look at what is on the ballot. First, let’s talk about Constitutional Initiatives 126 and 127. Both of these initiatives are being pushed by liberal Republicans and a Democrat. Most of the money...
As a candidate for State Auditor, I know very well how challenging it is to raise the profile of the office. It is an important office that has a direct impact on all Montanans, but a lot of folks don’t know much about it. Per Montana law, the purpose of the office is to ‘protect Montana insurance consumers.’ My campaign is focused on that role and my qualification for the position based on four decades of ethical business experience. Unfortunately, my opponent is running on lies and issues unrelated to the Montana State Auditor’s office....

In 1959-60, the City of Sidney built a two cell lagoon system to handle waste water. One primary cell was used, with infiltration into the second. In 2011 or 12, the State of Montana mandated that the city upgrade the system. A new cell was built in the footprint of the old second cell, leaving the sludge in the primary one to degrade. Biological agents have been used over the years to help with the process, but there is 60 years of accumulation with one to two feet of sludge over 38 acres of land. Public Works Director Jeff Hintz explained...
