In our prior columns, we’ve written about your fundamental RIGHT TO KNOW and how it provides all Montanans with an important way to interact with our state and local governments: You have a RIGHT TO KNOW how your government makes decisions, spends money, and conducts its business, and you can get that information by simply asking the most relevant state or local agency (and we’d love to help you do so!). Much of the time, Montanans can make requests and receive information at no personal cost. But as hinted in our last column about the dan...

Earlier this year the Town of Whitehall, along with its voters, consented to the constitutionally required local government review which occurs every ten years. This mandate is an opportunity for citizens to review their city’s power and form of government and to make recommendations for improvements in their structure of government. Cities and counties that choose to participate, as the Town of Whitehall did, will elect study commissioners to evaluate the local government’s structure and propose recommendations for improvements. Any rec...

Week 3: Myth- The Town of Whitehall is bilking residents for water/sewer/garbage. Here are the facts: 1. The Bond Council have set the rate increases with the Lien Holders that the Town must comply with to receive funds. Again, the increase it only because we have loans to repay. The town is not “pocketing” the money or using it for any other projects. 2. Whitehall current monthly base rate is comparable to many other towns in our vicinity. For example: • Three Forks $83.75 (water/sewer) • Manhattan $88.00 (water/sewer) • Boulder is currently...

Politics can be a messy business, and the timing of our supplemental tax bill, with its paragraph blaming the Governor's office and Legislature during an election cycle, along with the timing of the veto override of SB 442, concerns me. While I try to avoid the "politics" in politics, I feel compelled to address these issues. To begin, I would like to express my reasons for supporting the Governor's veto of Senate Bill 442, a bill that would have allowed marijuana tax revenue to be used for...

Under the Right to Know, you have a right to request public information from your state and local governments. When Montanans exercise their Right to Know by submitting public information requests, it increases government transparency, improves government officials’ responsiveness to citizens, and boosts c...
