Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Inflation Reduction Act has upped our debt over seven trillion. Senator Tester actually voted for this. It has increased inflation as have the other trillions poured into the US by the Biden Admin. Tester meets, greets, and talks but doesn’t really commit to anything. I want to know why Medicare Advantage is being cut $307 billion and that money is going into green energy projects. Biden said he would not cut Social Security, yet this huge cut affects millions of elderly citizens. Rest homes are closing in Montana and throughout the USA while the Biden Admin sends billions to Ukraine. Where is Tester when this is happening? And I might add, where are our Republican reps...
Editor, We’d like to thank everyone who helped make our March 10 Mission Valley Ice Arena Fundraiser at Glacier Brewery such a success. Donors from throughout our Mission Valley came forward with wonderful items for our silent auction – from individuals with handmade art and crafts, to comm...
Editor, Our nation’s Republican party is presently dangerously divided. This threatens our democracy. The evidence is clear. Our world is presently undergoing tremendous stresses. We are dealing with viral pandemics, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the ramping up of fear and anger. Add...
Editor, For those whose only outside world news comes from Fox or OAM they should be happy to hear that Montana’s students testing level came out at close to the 25% competency level in both reading and math ability. This should pretty well insure, as they grow, they will follow what they ...

Our 1972 Constitution is very special in that it guarantees the citizens of Montana 17 more rights than our US Constitution, includin...
Editor, Regarding Montana State Senator Jason Ellsworth’s op-ed in the Valley Journal of Feb. 22. First of all, with regards to his statement regarding “Joe Biden’s inflation,” this is ignorant. A lot of things totally outside of the president’s control contribute to inflatio...
Editor, How many Montana people know that $2+ Million came into Montana Counties to help sway the 2022 election? And how many know that Montana is riddled with voter fraud? Even Montana. And our GOP and DNC are both to blame. They just “yawn” and let it go. And look at the mess this country is...
Editor, Canadians approach the appointment of judges differently than Americans do. Consider their Supreme Court. Justices are selected by the Governor General from a short list of qualified candidates assembled with input from provincial law societies. Political affiliation isn’t a consideration. A...
You may have driven through the community of Arlee on your way to Flathead Lake or Glacier National Park. Today the beautiful Jocko Valley is threatened by a proposed asphalt plant on a 157-acre gravel pit. I realize gravel is a necessity in today’s world for highway and irrigation projects. But rig...
