Lindeen is doing a great job
Kalispell | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 13 years, 2 months AGO
My partner and I went to the dinner and film presentation of “Gold Diggers” this past Thursday evening sponsored by Monica Lindeen and staff of the office of securities and insurance. It was a good dinner and movie until it was sandbagged by folks representing Derek Skees. He is running opposite Lindeen for State Auditor.
What a shameful display of dirty politics! Audience member Anne Bukachek threw out an unrelated to the movie question regarding “slurs” from Lindeen’s office towards a Ravalli County pastor indicted on six counts of fraud, Lindeen looks out for victims of fraud, in this case a congregation member who lost $150,000 to Harris Himes, pastor at Big Sky Christian Center in Hamilton.
Bill and I were appalled at this blatant attempt by a “Christian” to inject disharmony into an educational meeting that informed Montana citizens about Ponzi schemes and insurance frauds. In both cases depicted in the film, the perpetrators were convicted, sentenced and required to pay restitution WITH interest. Monica Lindeen is doing a great job as State Auditor for Montana.

2015 Montana Legislature will be important
The 2015 Montana legislative session will be the most important session since I was elected to the Montana House in 1999. The tribal water compact, the impact of government controlled health care, pension deficits, the lowest wages in the nation, high cost of energy and skyrocketing taxes are just a few of the issues that need immediate attention. Fortunately, Bob Keenan, former president of the Montana Senate is running for the District 5 senate seat which I must vacate due to term limits. Bob is one of the best financial minds to ever serve in the Montana Legislature.
Teachings of world religions
Thursday, May 14, 2015, Kalispell Public Schools Superintendent Mark Flatau, Columbia Falls District Superintendent Steve Bradshaw and Bigfork School District Superintendent Matt Jensen accepted the local Act! for America Chapter’s invitation to answer questions about concerns related to teachings of world religions. For that they deserve our thanks and appreciation. It was certainly not a “regular day at the office” for them.
Take a stand on public land issues
As a U.S. Forest Service retiree, I know the benefits of a well-managed forest. Over the last 20 plus years, I have seen the federal government's "on the ground" forest management deteriorate. Lack of timber sales and excessive access closures have not served the public or the resource well.
