    Delivering Income and Property Tax Relief for Montanans Governor Greg Gianforte As I meet with Montanans in every corner of our state, I hear the same concern often –taxes are too high. And they’re right. Taxes are too high and need to be reined in. Two years ago, we enacted a fiscally responsible budget, and as a result, the State of Montana today has a historic budget surplus.

    Tyranny Comes From The Hearts Of Men We've all heard the old saying, 'Whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting.' This old tried and true saying is no more true than in Montana. A local example is the controversy within and now outside the Roundup Mesa Landowners Association (RMLA); as a landowner within the RMLA, I'd hoped that the 'fighting' would stay within this troubled association. But, the conflict has spilled over into this newspaper by a couple of recent letters to the editor. Accusations have been poured on the county...
