Many people have government subsidies, but people without subsidies have to figure out how to pay for the new cost of food without a bigger paycheck. The local food ban...

Jason Ellsworth This column could be considered an open letter to Montana judges and justices, as well as the various agencies and parties engaged in lawsuits over legislation from the 2023 and 2021 legislative sessions. It's also meant to inform Montanans about how ongoing litigation could impact future legislative sessions and, more fundamentally, their own ability to know and understand the current laws of our state.
