Jordan is the true financial conservative
Kalispell | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 13 years, 1 month AGO
Given Cal Scott’s bankruptcy record I am surprised he is touting his business background. Anyone who racks up over $200,000 in unpaid debt while responsible for 22 credit cards fails to pass the smell test for financial common sense.
Given Scott’s financial record it is no wonder one of his first acts as County Commissioner was to vote for a pay increase. Most troubling is that he never revealed his financial problems to the folks considering his appointment as commissioner. Mr. Scott seems to have trouble being up front about his background.
Gil Jordan, Scott’s opponent, has a proven record of being a financial conservative. Jordan administered a million dollar annual budget with 40 employees while technical director for the La Mirada Civic Theatre before moving to the Flathead in 1985. He is a firefighter and secretary-treasurer of the Coram-West Glacier Volunteer Fire Department. Since becoming the executive director of the NW Montana Historical Society and Museum at Central School in Kalispell in 2005 the organization has eliminated its debt and increased its membership. Gil has one credit card that he pays monthly with no interest or penalty payments.
Gil Jordan is the true financial conservative. He deserves your vote.

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.
