  • Legislative Preview 2018 - Local option tax

    Marti Liechty, Community News Service University of Montana School of Journalism|Jan 2, 2019

    A sales tax in Montana has been a political lightning rod for years, but more voices are pushing the idea of allowing cities and communities to adopt a local version in an effort to reduce property taxes. Montana is one of only five states that does not impose a general or local sales tax and fast-growing communities fighting increasing housing costs and tourist destinations plan to argue they should allow local voters to decide whether to impose a community sales tax. It is an idea that has failed in recent state legislative sessions. The...

  • Old Man Winter is quick

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors columnist|Jan 2, 2019

    I used to dread winter. I don’t anymore. Like most everything else these days, it passes too quickly. I’ll admit that last winter, which stretched well into April, was a bit much, but it only made spring shorter. As a kid growing up in southern Indiana I always looked forward to winter because if it snowed, we usually got out of school. Unfortunately snow was rare in that part of the country. Then I moved to Cooke City and found out what winter was really about at 7,700-feet elevation. It wou...

  • CHEAT DAY !!!!

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Jan 2, 2019

    So I had a cheat day. But I did not post that to my keto support group’s page on social media. That is one way to easily get attacked. If I know one thing about the internet, it’s that people are more prone to attack your joy if it’s something they don’t agree with. You can respond to this by writing a letter to the editor if you don’t agree but just know that I had a cheat day. That cheat day was Christmas. I ate carbs all day long. Yams, buns, peaches and cream pie; and I started the day o...
