Montana Capitol building.
This week, Montana lawmakers gaveled into the second half of the legislative session. Republicans are advancing major conservative priorities, including a tax cut package. It harkens back to the last time the GOP controlled both the Legislature and governor’s office.
“During the session people will put out buttons for their bills sometimes, says retired 43-year government reporter Chuck Johnson as he rummages through drawers and drawers of political buttons in his Helena home.
“This was a button that came out memorializing the passage of deregulation in a bad way.”
It says, “Remember March 18, 1997. RIP MPC.”
MPC refers to the now-defunct Montana Power Company, the subject of a marquee piece of legislation from the last period of unified GOP statehouse control between 1995 and 2004. Republicans hadn’t had such power for 42 years prior.

During his report at Monday’s regular council meeting, Mayor Bricker also explained that his office has been busy, submitting projects for the state budget. In addition to the wellness center and trails, the city also is working on a transportation initiative and hoping to get $150,000 for blight removal and rehabilitation of housing within the city. “We hope to get that project off the ground by next month,” he continued. “We have no shortage of problems when it comes to our housing.”

HOUSTON – John Mercer of Gettin’ Sauced Cookers said he was hard at work BBQing to help feed thousands when his trailer caught fire.
“We were heating the pit up and the torch caught fire. The next thing you know all hell broke loose,” said Mercer.
By the time the fire was put out, although the pit was able to be saved, the trailer was pretty much a total loss. Mercer said the fire is a major setback.
“I could probably pull 3,000 or 4,000 more meals off of it, at one time, so that’s a big hit for us,” he said.
