Letters to the Editor
Editor, I read where Clarence Thomas voiced his opinion that public trust in the Supreme Court has become voided because of the recent proposed decision to curtail or end the right to a woman’s abortion choice. Not true. It began several years ago when the Senate took control of appointments and made it into a group of mostly political hacks. Now we come to my receipt of our 2022 ballot. Since party affiliation is not required to cast your primary vote, why go to the cost of printing one for each of the two main parties? Would it not save money to print just one version that had the candidates for each office and their acclaimed party affiliation? Of course it would, but that wo...
Editor, If you want to see the real facts concerning Renewable Energy, you need to watch this five minute video. Just do a search with the words “How Much Energy Will the World Need?” A few sites will come up with the link to watch this short video. This is the best explanation of our situatio...

Editor, The Polson City Commission has decided to proceed with consideration of extending the city water system to service a new casino near the airport with a suggestion that sewer service will also become available when requested.

Editor, Just because there is a law that tells us abortion is okay, there is God’s law that says it is morally wrong. It grieves our Lord when one of His babies is taken away. God has a destiny for that child. Why should there be any unwanted pregnancies? We have clinics everywhere giving out bir...

After graduating from Florence, I continued into college where I graduated from Dickinson State University with two Bachelor’s degrees, one in business administration and the other in human resource management. ...
Editor, I am voting for Joe Dooling for the Public Service Commission. We don’t pay much attention to the Public Service Commission (PSC) race, but it will be on our ballet in June. Their website states “The PSC’s job to balance the interests of ratepayers who are concerned a...
Editor, We, the below signed members of the State-Tribal Relations Committee, the Montana Legislature’s liaison with tribal governments, write to congratulate Montana high school and postsecondary graduates and their deservingly proud families. Way to go! We extend our deep gratitude to the...
Editor, Many politicians say they want to work on behalf of all Montanans. But when the rubber meets the road, somehow those words never translate to action. That is what makes Cora Neumann different. Cora has worked tirelessly to get out and support not just Montana cities and businesses, but also our ru...
Editor, We have a billboard outside of St. Ignatius. On one side, it says, “Zinke for Public Lands,” and on the other it says, “Zinke, Montana’s SEAL.” We don’t have laws restricting misrepresentations and lies in political speech. Candidates may say what they like -...
