COLUMN: It's playoff season

Let’s clean up some loose ends and get ready for playoffs, shall we?

CSKT potentially damaging to Montana

Volumes have been written about how the 2015 Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) water compact is unconstitutional, costly, and sets in motion risky laws based on unprecedented new policies.  These policies will be very destructive to Montanan’s for generations to come. Currently the only presented reason to support the compact is to alleviate the threat of the CSKT filing suit on 10,000 water claims all across western Montana. These claims are in my opinion very weak if not totally non-existing.

Hecla is hopeful about mines despite legal fight

Vote smart

Energy issues we face are a matter of national security. Our country faces one of the biggest challenges our nation has seen since World War II. As we send $700 billion dollars overseas per year to buy oil from people who don’t like us, our “do nothing” democratic congress stopped our ability to drill within 50 miles of our coastlines, which holds the majority of our oil and natural gas. We have to come to grips with our dire need to develop our natural resources in a responsible way. Nationally we have enough resources in a responsible way. Nationally we have enough resource to meet our demand. With gas prices pushing $3.50 to $4.00 a gallon the Democratic majority leader in Congress wants us to make sure our tires are inflated at the proper pressure so we can save fuel. Hello, is any body out there?! (NEED I SAY MORE)
