Letters to the Editor
Editor, Here is some “fun stuff” I came across. Do you ever wonder: - Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin? - Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word? - Why is it that doctors call what they do ‘practice’? - Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? - Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? - Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? - If Con is the opposite of Pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress? - If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? Some n...
Editor, Looking back over the past year, I see the work that Senator Jon Tester has done. I thank him. He’s helped to secure disaster relief to farmers and ranchers who face drought, get federal money for MT and local school districts to procure domestically produced food during supp...
Editor, I subscribe to your paper to receive local news. The article from Peace Voice makes me think you are getting away from local to a globalist view paper. Your readers need to know that Peace Voice is a globalist “peace” organization out of Portland Oregon. A town where they can&...

Editor, A word of sympathy to all of our friends in Lake County who had a sad loss of a loved one this past year. I do hope the holidays can bring a smile as you remember the wonderful, fun times with your loved one. “It’s been a tough year.” From a friend, Ethel McCready Missou...
Editor, NWE and the MT PSC must do better. The Public Service Commission and Northwestern Energy (NWE) have made news, again, and yet again, for something done to—and not for—Montana. In 2014, NWE acquired the Hegben Dam from Pennsylvania Power and Light and with that purchase cam...
Editor, After reading your article about “Vaccine mandate injunction” I want to comment. This is not a comment about getting vaccinated, vaccination is a personal choice, but how it could affect our hospitals. If the federal government stops CMS payments to hospitals, we will lose both f...
Editor, Our Montana legislature has made voting more difficult for many groups - including Native Americans and other rural voters, people with disabilities, younger and student voters, people with inflexible work schedules, and those who discover a problem with their registration at the last minute.
