Let’s shine a brighter light on politics
8Dear Editor, “As Montanans, we exhibit and demand honesty and integrity, ‘say it like it is and no beating around the bush’. We all, regardless of party, should want full disclosure…” Truer words cannot be spoken. However, these words must be taken literally to be as honest as portrayed.
