The return of Montana's copper collar

Mark Twain is credited with saying, “History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” And so it is with SB 331, which is winding its way through the Legislature. This bill authorizes NorthWestern Energy to buy more interest in old coal plants and automatically pass the costs, plus profit margin, onto their customers without review by the Public Service Commission. It also puts ratepayers on the hook for more of the decommissioning and cleanup costs in the future.

Purple reign finished by Frenchtown

At issue

Not everyone in Bigfork is Republican. I'm a Vietnam vet and I'm voting for Kerry. He served in Vietnam, not like Bush and Cheney. Kerry fought for his right to speak out.

In the first Iraq war we paid 10 percent because we had a real coalition with us.

Double taxation and the fiscal cliff

There’s no get-out-of-jail-free card for America’s small business owners — when times are tight, they have to find new ways to stretch their resources in order to keep their doors open and stay competitive. Which is why it’s so disappointing to see how our leadership in Washington is handling our current financial situation.
