In a limited entry unit that take a decade or more to draw, I'm more than happy to offer tips and occasionally drop pins. For general areas, burn some boot leather and figure it out. When asked where I'm hunting even by people that don't hunt my response is always the same: "the mountains".
I think this is spot on about money in politics. It can never be removed from politics, but every effort should be made to make it very transparent where its coming from.
Is it too much to ask for a candidate that believes in limited federal government, lower taxes, support of public lands...
Probably not wrong, but it underscores the bigger problem that a lot of regular folks in Montana who would actually make good legislators want nothing to do with politics because of how hyper partisan it has become. And I don't blame them.
A couple of points. Legislation isn't that complicated. I think the effect of "newbies" is overblown. But 3 terms in each chamber seems sufficient to me.
Strongly disagree on the term limits for the judiciary. Bodnar's position on that seems like it was written by a college student who took...
I don't think it is an artificial constraint at all in Montana. We have a special state, and the amount of outside influence trying to ruin it is astonishing. Look at Bozeman for example. 30 years ago, it was small town Montana. Now, walking down Main street in boots, jeans, and a ball cap...
It's a lot of things. The income tax is a good point, constantly talking about tax relief but zero meaningful action taken.
Mostly it's a public lands access issue. There's big talk about property rights, and I'm all for property rights. The difference is I also believe in protecting the...
I for one just think it would be nice if we had actual Montanans running for Montana seats ...
The bigger problem to me is the lack of term limits. Being a politician was never designed to be a career. You were supposed to "do your civic duty," stay in office for a couple of years, and then...
Switched from Kennetrek (UI) to Zamberlan (UI) and Schnees (200g). My feet have thanked me. Like anything, it's what feels best on your feet. The only brand I'd never try again is Crispi. Sore feet and no ankle support. I couldn't give those away fast enough.
