Though they have been in Roundup since 2018, you may not have known that Pronto Construction was a local business. Many locals struggle to find help with their building needs, and the local companies are often on two or three projects already. Pronto is no exception. You will often see the Pronto Trailer at the Hardware store on Main Street. They are currently bid out on contracts until next February with over twenty bathrooms to remodel and a waiting list on porches. I was personally referred...

As I explained to him, and now all of you patient readers; I didn't expect to win the...
The recent leaking of the draft opinion surrounding the 1973 Roe V Wade decision by the Supreme Court is unprecedented. It is reprehensible that someone would try to use public pressure in an effort to force our Supreme Court Justices into ruling a certain way. While we won't know if the final decision reached by the court will match the prematurely released draft for a few more months, and amidst all of the uncertainty and chaos surrounding this decision, it is comforting to know that we have strong a strong Pro-Life voice in Representative...

When it didn't go that way,...
