Support PACE

As Gov. Bullock cited in his state of the state address, the cheapest energy is the energy you don’t use. Energy efficiency upgrades to homes and buildings will save property owners more money on utilities than the upgrades cost, over the long term. But the upfront cost of upgrades is a challenge for many Montanans. 

Trump, Bannon want to get us into armed conflict

Editor:

It seems Trump and his alt-right side kick Bannon are determined to get us in an armed conflict. The fact that he has demeaned, insulted and threatened our allies leads me to believe they won’t be too anxious to have our back. I can only hope that the people that voted for him and go along with his alternate facts will man up, put on a uniform and march off to war. Unfortunately, that’s not the way it works. It will be the children of the poor and middle class who will go off to the slaughter, while the wealthy’s children will sit at a desk.

Targeting of Redfield shows lack of knowledge, common sense

Unlike Trump, let us remain a welcoming community

It was interesting to see Hope Angelica Emmanuel Grey’s story, Trump’s executive order on immigration in the Livingston Enterprise on Friday, Feb. 3, Page 8. As a journalism student at Park High, I learned that an editor shows his priorities by where and when he or she places a story. 

Trump’s oppressive mindset

Editor:

As he was signing edicts hurting one group after another over the past two weeks, it was only a matter of time before Donald Trump got around to hurting animals — already the most oppressed sentient beings on earth.

Hilarious poem

Editor:

I’m sure there are many of us, who appreciated the hilarious, satirical poem about President Obama by David Eaton in a recent Enterprise. I’m still laughing.

Kudos to photographer

Editor:

This is a long-overdue letter, but fortunately the subject is still relevant. I wanted to commend photographer Hunter D’Antuono for his unique perspective and ability to capture the essence of life and landscape in Park County. Thanks Hunter! Keep up the excellent work!

Egregious guest editorial

Published on Fri, 02/03/2017 - 3:14pm

Editor: 

One of the strengths of our Livingston community is our diversity. This is why I usually let the guest editorials slide by without comment, however Dan Hammes’ guest editorial of Feb. 2 was so egregious that I feel I must respond. 

Idaho newspaper promotes tyranny

Published on Fri, 02/03/2017 - 3:13pm

Editor:

Once again the dark nativist vision of the St. Maries Gazette Record has disgraced the editorial page of the Livingston Enterprise. Reviving the classic logic of a “What, me worry?” cartoon from Mad magazine, the Gazette has informed us that the recent President Trump ban on Muslim immigration is just normal and a fight against throwing homosexuals off bridges. It attempted to wrap both prejudice, racism and ignorance firmly in the Constitution and the American flag and told us not to care. Really?

Why Legislature should pass PACE

Published on Thu, 02/02/2017 - 3:00pm

Editor: 

PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is a program that will save businesses money and create local jobs in Montana, without costing our government a dime. It needs to be enabled by the Montana Legislature, and has already passed in 33 states across the country (including Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Texas.)
