The true story of meth

Swearing in, new bills as work begins in legislature
Families met on the floor of the House for swearing in ceremonies last week. It is an awesome state we serve in the most beautiful room of the capitol. Many first-timers were awestruck, and all of us are humbled by the chance to serve the taxpayers of our great state.
Health center
The Nov. 16 article on the HD9 race stated Joe Russell (Flathead County Health Dept Director) and I were "putting in for a grant" for a community health center. I am one of many people helping and my role is minor as a steering committee member advisor focusing on the dental clinic portion. We often see political people get credit for others efforts and the major lifting on this project is being done by the County Health Board, County Staff, and many others.

Montana's federal economic footprint
It’s been quite a party, but the hangover might be a doozy. After four straight years of trillion-dollar annual budget deficits, the news is dawning on all political parties that the federal budget is long due for serious repair, and that less spending is part of the process. As a state that historically has gotten $1.50 back for every dollar it sends to Washington, what does that future bode for Montana? Will our pain be more or less than other regions?

Keeping in touch: A look at worker's comp
Montana has by far the highest workers’ compensation rates in the country, with costs over 160% above the national median. An overhaul of the system is essential to prevent the exodus of employers who find it more cost-efficient to conduct business in nearby states. House Republicans introduced a bill this past week that addresses our state’s burdensome workers’ comp costs and will allow employers to keep jobs in Montana.

Judge halts 1st US execution of female inmate in 67 years

State proposes pesticide restrictions
OLYMPIA — Neonicotinoid pesticides are known for their harmful effects on the nervous systems of insects and a proposal in the state Legislature calls for banning them for household use. “About 1/3 of our agricultural sector needs pollination to thrive, and our pollinators, bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds in this state are under more and more threat,” said prime sponsor Sen. Marko Liias, D–Edmonds. Others, however, say blaming household use of pesticides on a decline in bee populations mischaracterizes the current research. Allan Felsot, a professor of environmental studies at Washington State University, said focusing on habitat restoration is essential to save pollinators, arguing that allocating taxpayer dollars to this bill would be a waste as it fails to address the impacts on bee populations.
