DIVORCES GRANTED

OPINION: Montanans deserve a chance for school choice

Montana’s public schools do a great job for most students. But as every parent knows, children aren’t all the same. One likes to run; the other likes to sit in a corner with a book. One likes to play video games; the other prefers football. And while most may do well in public schools, there are some who do not. Unfortunately, nearly 2,000 students drop out of Montana schools each year.

Infrastructure bill puts political 'pork' on state's credit card

Do you ever wonder how the state picks which road, bridge and sewer projects to fund each year? Historically, infrastructure grants in Montana are provided through several separate funding bills, passed individually by your representatives in the Montana Legislature. This process allows like proposals to stand on their own merits rather than having their fate tied to unrelated projects that the state pays for in a completely different way.
