Russ Fagg called me about a letter to the editor I wrote
Dear Editor: Yesterday, May 24, 2018, Russ Fagg called me about a letter to the editor I wrote about him violating the code of judicial conduct. I actually told him I would not write any more letters to the editor about him. After thinking about what he told me, I concluded I would have to […]
The ad is garbage,
Dear Editor: I write this with hesitation, as I try to avoid wading into the dirty waters of election politics, but I believe I must. It distresses me when cases prosecuted by my office, that the people of this great community have trusted me to handle, are manipulated and sensationalized for political gain. Several weeks […]
Has hunting and fishing become Montanans’ God?
Dear Editor: Has hunting and fishing become Montanans’ God? Recently, I was walking doors during a campaign for a friend. I encountered a guy who was concerned about the candidate’s views on hunting and fishing rights. It became obvious that he was a single-issue voter; he did not care about jobs, the size of government, […]
Can Dr. O win? Of course, he needs your vote not DC money!
Dear Editor: I have had several opportunities to meet and hear the four Republican candidates running for U. S. Senate to replace Jon Tester. I had been undecided until about three weeks ago.

Shouldn’t we expect you to do the same during your political campaign?
Dear Editor: Mr. Fagg, because you insist on referring to yourself as “judge” during your political campaign, I would like to bring to your attention Rule 1.3 of the Montana Code of Judicial Conduct, which states “a judge should not abuse the prestige of judicial office to advance the personal or economic interest of the […]

Three million Americans stutter
Dear Editor, National Stuttering Awareness Week begins May 7, 2018. Did you know more than three million Americans stutter? That’s more than the populations of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, and Washington, DC…combined. One percent of your readers stutter, and up to 5 percent of children stutter for a time during their early developmental years. […]
Fiction?? Fact?? Trivial??
Dear Editor: To Jonathan, Tana and staff members: Fiction?? Fact?? Trivial?? Came across this and thought it interesting. YCN viewers, and you, may find it otherwise: Near 50 years ago, Green Belt Maryland astronauts checked planetary positions in future years. The information was necessary, when sending long-lived objects into orbit, to forestall potential collision. This complex data […]
Russ Fagg is the best all-around candidate
Dear Editor: Russ Fagg is the best all-around candidate to be Montana’s next U.S. Senator. I am pleased to endorse him. I have had the opportunity over the last several years to get to know Russ on much more than a superficial level. We have served together in leadership of the Billings “Walk to Emmaus” […]
