Letters

Editor:

I was relieved to see two letters here in this column regarding the hunting, trapping and “wildlife-decimating” proposals that are being quickly moved into law in Montana. I exhaled to know others feel like me. We are still free to speak, aren’t we? I thank the editor for printing this letter, if he does, and I thank other Park Country residents for speaking to our leaders and here in this forum. 

Bills defy any resemblance to common sense

Editor: 

I have never written a letter to The Enterprise before but I feel compelled so, due to all the silliness going on with the state Legislature this year. It has come to point that I have to voice my personal thoughts on the patterns that are emerging in Park County and the state of Montana.

Don’t let our part of American
Rescue Plan end with a whimper

Editor,

This is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.” It was the last five minutes of this Tuesday’s April 4 Livingston City Commission meeting. The meeting was over and all that was left was city manager and commissioner comments. Almost like they did not want to be heard, a commissioner, who had to know more than was let on, asked, “What about our part of the (President Biden’s) Americans Rescue Plan’s $1.88 billion (yes, the nine-zeroes kind with a B)?”

SB 260 is a reckless bill

Editor:

Thanks to Dennis Glick for his April 5 letter to the editor about what is probably the worst bill of this legislative session — SB 260. If some special interest groups have their way, SB 260 would allow anyone to make a claim against the state or their local government if they felt that government’s decision reduced the value of their property. The bill defines property broadly and can include business brands, intellectual property, stock, licenses, and a host of other things.
