Of all the food consumed in Montana, only about 10% of what Montanans eat is produced in the state. Again, Montanans only eat 10% of food produced locally. Therefore, Montana businesses are losing about $2.7 billion dollars to out of state businesses to produce food that,...

The Senator announced his Western Wildlife Initiative, which is three bills designed to aid Montana during fire seaso...

Really this has included mostly pushing a stroller or walking a dog for me, but that's perfectly fine because the convenience of our local Sherry Arnold walking/bike path lends itself to all of the above. About five years ago our family was looking for something to replace our winter-time game night and so we began taking our kids and dog to the walking path. We had recently moved alongside Hwy 16 and no longer had...
