    What is "the great American novel"?

    Hard to argue against Huck Finn, but maybe To Kill a Mockingbird is right up there.

    Drought for the west

    The east side of the Cascades hasn't seen meaningful rain in 6 wks. Your E Oregon fires are huge and starting to burn into each other. The Big Grass fire is now in Idaho and not slowing. Wishing your area some good fortune. August is going to be interesting. The only good news is that the SW US...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    That is a terrible idea for everyone except the landowner. The taxes pay for stuff - teachers, police, firefighters, infrastructure, etc. The prices on those things change over time. That is why taxes are adjusted over time.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    If you are an optimist you say the price of gasoline is too high and you are getting fleeced. A pessimist would say the price of oil is too low and will eventually catch up. Good luck to both.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    I'm not sure it is partisanship or just selfishness. Trump has causes a lot of Republicans to have an existential crisis. Fiscal Discipline- Always....just not when my guy is in charge and i'm getting a benefit. States Rights - Absolutely, unless my guy wants to trample on "coastal elites" No...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Most of those people don't live there or vote. I don't doubt you are alone in your thinking either. What I'm saying is it is a crutch to prevent citizens of the state from doing work and making hard choices. And after it gives you someone to blame.

    Please define 'For' and 'Against'. I think those definitions matter.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    The is an artificial constraint. A person can come in and tell you exactly what you want to hear and then you discover they weren't born there so it changes your view/vote? This is what I mean when I say people find reasons not to like candidates and then complain that no one represents them...

    RCV couldn’t hurt. But I think we underestimated the amount of crazy out there.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Nothing. That’s why they can get money from a pac without declaring, or being obvious, about which party they would caucus with. Maybe that could change if we hit 10-20% of sitting congressp pole having an I next to their name. I would think everyone can say that. We need to get to a point...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    I guess my question is What do you want from an Independent? The major in the chamber controls what bills come up and a member can only vote yes or no on a bill. What would you like to see from them? I guess there is some tipping point where we have to switch to forming a coalition government...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Find a PAC with a few million$ to throw your way and tell them you will vote the way they want you to. My question is do you think just getting more independents elected will give you different types of people in office?
