  • Dear Editor: Sheehy an Astute Businessman

    STU GOODNER|Aug 21, 2024

    Dear Editor, In the Montana Senate race, Sheehy is running as the successful businessman versus the professional politician, parallelling Trump’s presidential campaigns. However, some people are questioning how successful Sheehy is. The first claim is that Sheehy had an unfair advantage in his start-up from his wealthy family. It is reported that he received around $400K in seed money. Tester inherited 1,800 acres of farmland from his grandparents’ estate. Assuming a modest value of $500 per acr...

    REILLY NEILL|Aug 21, 2024

    When a Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in Montana feels funding a campaign in our state is meaningless, it disenfranchises voters and undermines the democratic process. On August 14, I officially filed a write-in campaign for Reilly Neill as a candidate in Montana’s Second Congressional District. Voters deserve a choice on the ballot, someone fighting for them. They deserve a Democrat on the ballot elevating important issues and supporting a robust democracy. The concerns of the f...

    GEORGIA|Aug 21, 2024

    Georgia, I have a question, I took in a project horse about 1.5 years ago to keep her from going to a kill pen or killing someone. It had extreme behavioral issues (still has some quirks to work out but is no longer trying to kill people). I took her home and began rehabbing it. It was coming along nicely and I became pregnant. I still worked it in hand and was happy with it’s progress; it really came out of her shell and was becoming quite impressive. I spent my entire pregnancy having body work, acupuncture, and other corrective work done t...
