<description><![CDATA[Aren’t people clever? Start by getting massive amounts of dark money from nonresident billionaires seeking to control Montana’s politics. Then run a ballot initiative that claims to control dark money influence in Montana. Bait and switch. Brilliant! Why, it’s enough to get you really cynical about politics… The dark money-funded I-194 signs and advertising are everywhere. It all sounds so doggone...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Beef is expensive. Shoppers see it every time they walk past the meat counter. Washington has responded with a band-aid solution by opening the door to more imported beef. While that may provide some short-term appeal to consumers, it does nothing to address the underlying domestic supply problem that drove prices up in the first place. In fact, allowing more imported beef actually makes the...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[“Dark money” is the buzzword of the moment in Montana politics. It is on activists’ lips, in fundraising mailers, and on signs and billboards along Montana highways. But “dark money” is more than a buzzword. It is becoming a political weapon—and providing cover for a hostile takeover of Montana politics. The takeover is not happening in secret. It is happening in plain sight. Some of the wealthies...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Imagine the state legislature passes a law that says this: “A Montana driver’s license allows you to drive on all state roads—except not to church services. People can still go to church, but they have to walk or find other arrangements.” Would that law be constitutional? Or suppose a law says that a barber’s license allows you to cut hair, but you can’t talk politics in your barbershop. If you do...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dear Editor, The passage of the ballot initiative CI-132 is so important. CI-132 simply puts into the Montana Constitution that judges will remain non-partisan, as they have been for the last 90 years. It&apos;s that simple. Judges should not declare support for one political affiliation over the other, whether they are a candidate for Montana Supreme Court or a District Judge who will preside...]]></description>
