GREAT FALLS â A growing number of Great Falls residents are expressing concerns over unfinished business, saying they shelled out hundreds, even thousands, of dollars for poorly done or even incomplete driveway asphalt work.
Russ McNee has lived in his southwest Great Falls home for 10 years. He responded to a Facebook ad for driveway sealing services. He said for $3,000, the company promised three coatings, but only one was applied.
âThey wanted cash. I had cash and gave it to them. I asked for a receipt, they said they were out, their receipt book was empty,â said McNee. âBut theyâd have me one the next day when they were going to come back and do the next coating and I havenât seen them since.â

Public health officials in Helena are urging parents to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for their teens before school starts. State education officials say parents know what’s best for their kids.
According to Lewis and Clark County Public Health, 30% of teenagers living in the area are fully vaccinated. About 36% are partially vaccinated.
Drenda Niemann, Lewis and Clark County’s public health officer, says those numbers aren’t as high as she’d like.
“We want them to go back to school. We want them to not be disrupted again like they were last year and the best way to do that is to follow the CDC guidelines and to get vaccinated,” she says.
