Of the three Motels in Roundup, the Ideal motel is like a blast from the past, it has all the charm of an old-fashioned motel.

Republican forms of government, more than any other, need officials and citizens practicing civic virtue.

Civic virtue demands civility, social cooperation, honesty, courage, being informed about current events and ability to reason and deliberate based on evidence about matters of public concern. The practice of these...
As the regulatory agency for the insurance industry in Montana, we are tasked to review health insurance rates offered by commercial plans, like Blue Cross or Pacific Source. One clear and unchanging trend is that health insurance plans spend a tremendous amount of money paying for prescription drugs for enrollees. CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has projected that spending on retail prescription drugs is growing faster than any other health category and will continue to do so for the remainder of this decade. During the la...
For the first time in its more than eight decades of surveying Americans' religious attitudes and practices, Gallup reports, church members constituted only 47% of the US population in 2020 -- down 23% since 1999, prior to which the percentage seldom dipped below 70%. Why the precipitous drop, and what might it portend for the future? "The decline in church membership," the Gallup report says, "is primarily a function of the increasing number of Americans who express no religious preference." In 2000, Americans who didn't consider themselves...
First they censored Alex Jones from his millions of followers for saying that socialism was coming to America and that censorship, coming with it, is opposite free speech and freedom, and I did not speak out—because I was not an Alex Jones fan. Then they tore down statues of America’s earliest explorers: Father Junípero Serra and Christopher Columbus, and I did not speak out—because they were said to have treated the Indians badly, therefore they were racists. Then statues of President Andrew Jackson, an Indian hater, followed by Confed...

The prices those energy companies pay NorthWestern for transmission...
The poll from March 22 on Facebook asked Roundup if they were in favor of a skate park or prefer money be used for some other kind of public space. 79 people checked that they would like a multi-use area that includes a skate park, 19 people checked that they were in favor of a skate park, and 6 people voted that they would like to see a different venue for the public. The idea seems to be widely popular and in fact, after posting the poll, I found out that permission from the city and land is already available for the skate park. I took the...
Are you one of those people who don’t want any trees on your property or near your property? Do you really realize how important trees are? Certainly, they require some care, at least until they are established, and can be a bit messy depending on whether the tree is a male or a female. We all know a lot of money is spent doing studies about various things, and sometimes we wonder if these studies are worth the money spent. However, a lot of information can be learned from them – perhaps not important to you but to someone. Here are few imp...
