A discouraging word on roaming bison
Dear Editor, Natalie Crane’s letter was interesting to say the least. I assume she is referring to the bison refuge in eastern Montana. She talks about visitor spending or tourism as a godsend to the state; my question in ten years is where is she going to get cream and sugar for her latte or […]
Expose the causes of socio-economic issues
Dear Editor, Poverty, is it a cause or an effect? Some have said alcoholism and mental illness are a treatable disease. Some have said poverty is just a lack of education or ambition. So, are addiction, crime and abuse effects of poverty or the cause? Does lack of education mean lack of knowledge, experience or […]
Not in our town, nation, or world
Dear Editor, I see Jennifer, Krayton and I have one thought in common, the “Country is going hell in a hand basket.” It’s time we put away the childish blame game and took responsibility for our own actions.
Love, compassion and respect for everyone
Dear Editor, On Face Book there was a “Which side of the fence are you” of conservative and liberal stance. No one I know fit their description for either. I claim Christian Democrat, meaning Christ died for EVERYONE on the planet
Solution to one local ‘food desert’
Dear Editor, Larry Price’s house in Iron Wood could be turned into a community center, have a local Mom and Pop grocery store, a small café, coffee shop, an exercise/rehab room and a couple rooms for unexpected over-night guests. In some of the larger cities the only store is the convenience store that sells junk […]
Some people may think they are getting even with the big oil companies, but
Dear Editor, I got a notice with a bill saying the business was going to prepay pumps due to drive offs. The night of the Worden Christmas Stroll, I pulled up to the gas station as a pick-up drives off and an employee runs out and tries to chase them down. Some people may think […]
“Pack it in Pack it out”
Dear Editor During the election “access to public lands” was an issue. My question is Who and for what purpose? Yes I am for public hiking, camping, fishing and hunting, even grazing and logging permits. I am not for mud bogging, four wheeling, vandalism and destruction I have seen. “Pack it in Pack it out”, seems […]
What they will say on April 15, 2019,
Dear Editor: Just curious, of the people who have praised the tax cuts, what they will say on April 15, 2019, if they have to pay rather than get a refund? Lauris Byxbe Pompeys Pillar
Is this a back door approach for statewide sales tax?
Dear Editor: I have used tobacco products and understand the increased medical costs. However, I-185 does not guarantee the money generated will go to medical costs, also, is suppose to reduce tobacco sales. Let me get this straight: I-185 will tax tobacco, which will not cover the cost of current tobacco medical expense and will diminish […]
None of us are worthy
Dear Editor: Some times it hard to decide just where Krayton Kerns stands. He is against mob rule, unless it is his mob. He is for respect, responsibility and dignity for others like a liberal Christian, then he goes more like a conservative Christian, one has to meet some check list to be worthy to get medical […]
