Please vote “yes” on the Gallatin County’s local government study commission question! Montana’s Constitution gives us this opportunity to “peek under the hood” at our form of government every ten years. The last time Gallatin County did a robust study was in 1994. Our population has more than doubled since then, as have our service needs, community issues, and the complexity of our organization. This isn’t Grandpa’s county anymore, yet we are using the same government model (general powers...
I received a recliner from my mom and sister for my birthday a few weeks ago. The couch I usually sit on was in dire need of being taken to the dump, so this was an awesome gift to receive. It is perfect for sitting and binge-watching my stories. It’s also a wonderful reason to stay in the house more, which I enjoy more with each passing birthday. That being said, I’ll still need to get out of the house plenty for work-related reasons, often at sporting events. Other than work, the only two places I will go are to the grocery store and to get...
