The City Attorney John Henley said the reason for the amendment was because of complaints the city had received through code enforcement and the police, with reports of one person parking 11 vehicles on their street, seven on one side and four on the other.

CASPER, Wyo. Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill into law on Tuesday which will allow the sale of recreational marijuana to begin on Jan. 1, 2022 in the state.
Montana voters passed an initiative during the 2020 General Election which made it legal for adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use starting Jan. 1, 2020, according to Montana Free Press. While that initiative allowed residents to cultivate up to four marijuana plants per household, with Gianforte signing House Bill 701, residents will only be able to cultivate two plants per household.
