Dear Editor, Recently there has been a media blast by John Deere claiming a Memorandum of Understanding signed with American Farm Bureau Federation provides right to repair for farmers, ranchers, and independent repair shops.

John Deere signed a similar MOU in 2018, with the California Farm Bureau, when the California legislature was on the verge of passing a right to repair bill. Their strategy worked as the bi...
Dear Editor, I have just come back from giving testimony on the Medicaid rates for nursing homes in Montana. It was a well-run hearing. The Governor presented his budget proposal.

The Governor said the people want to have home care, so he proposed significantly cutting the home care budget?...

One evening while we were playing cards with relatives, my girls and their cousins entertained themselves by thr...
Jan. 20, 2023 - We just completed our 15th day in this 68th Montana Legislature. The halls are full of lobbyists and Montana citizens. Committees are processing bills in both the House and the Senate. The largest group of bills has come from the Montana agencies. These “red tape” bills will reduce the governmental process. The administration is very customer-orientated, but the government still is hard to communicate with and get answers as fast and definitive as citizens desire. We have approximately 70 “Red Tape” bills that should make th...
