I’m going fishing for four days on Fort Peck next week. When I was figuring out the costs, I realized that driving there (and gas for the boat) was going to cost more than any other part of the trip. I wonder what small fraction of my trip if any will end up […]

Roy Brown is either being dishonest with Montana, or sadly doesn’t understand how the state budgeting process works after a decade in the legislature. While my vote is for the prior, Brown’s willingness to try to manipulate the truth isn’t going to win him a lot of favor in Montana.

Gov. Schweitzer released his 2007 tax return today, and there really isn’t much to see. The $6,000 in charitable giving was nice–particularly in the light of recent stories detailing the the paltry amount given by many past U.S. Presidents and current hopefulls.
The real interest here is in waiting to see if Roy Brown releases […]
