Didn't come up with the same planning board results
I read Ron Olfert’s letter in the May 1st Ledger and, after reading what Ron wrote, decided to read Title 76 of Montana Code Annotated. I find it strange that I did not come away with the same understanding of a growth policy that Ron presented in his letter. For instance, Ron states “… a growth policy must be implemented. The implementation document is the zoning law …” 76.1.601(3)(f) states a growth policy must include an implementation strategy that includes: (i) a timetable for implementing the growth policy; (ii) a list of conditions that will lead to the revision of the growth policy; and (iii) a timetable for reviewing the growth policy at least once every five years and revising the policy if necessary. But 76-1-601(2) states: “The extent to which a growth policy addresses the elements listed in subsection (3) is at the full discretion of the governing body.” This means (3)(f), the implementation strategy, doesn’t have to be considered by the governing body.

Fire lookouts provide a unique perspective
SANDERS COUNTY- When I think of what it takes to have an adventure, I typically imagine an activity that involves a small degree of self-endangerment combined with a touch of recklessness topped off with a sprinkle of disregard for ones personal safety. I might even add a dash of “what the heck am I thinking?” to the recipe.
