David Crisp and Krayton Kerns provide balance
Dear Editor, Thank you for an informative paper and thank you for balanced opinions from David Crisp and Krayton Kerns.
Thanks for State Legislature News
Dear Editor, Thank you for covering the state legislature news. I’ve always found it quite fascinating, some of the things politicians come up with, on citizens’ behalf. My only wish is that you could include more articles on the happenings in Helena, but I understand you have only a finite amount of space to work […]
Crisp Column Highlights MT SB 99 Missteps
Dear Editor, Progressive columnist David Crisp’s latest column criticized Montana Senate Bill 99, requiring parental notification by school districts 48 hours before “providing human sexuality instruction.” He ridicules the parents who are concerned about what a freshly minted, purple-haired, 23-year-old teacher might want to tell their children about sexual identity.
Learn Science, not Political Science
Dear Editor, I grew up on a cattle ranch and farm in the Salinas Valley of California. For my tenth birthday my maternal grandmother who lived over 250 miles north of us presented me with a pony named Primo for the occasion.

Crisp Falling of the Left Edge
Dear Editor, I guess our favorite editor had to hire a liberal to write an opinion column so the YCN wouldn’t look biased. This Crisp fella with the funny hat is so far left, he is at risk of falling off the edge of the earth. It was amusing how sick he got after his […]
Does Rural Montana ReallyHave a Voice?
Dear Editor, The picture on the cover of the YCN tells a story. There are twenty-five people in the Yellowstone County delegation. How many people represent the counties of Carter, Fallon, Wibaux, McCone, Garfield and Prairie counties? I have my doubts there are twenty altogether. Do the rural people really have a voice in our […]

Of the 800+ districts in the state of Montana, the CWDBH […]
