The deadline for commenting on the Park County Growth Policy is approaching. Unfortunately, if you read the county website, you cannot determine when the comment period will end or when the vote will take place.

Montanans must again stop Gianforte

With Ryan Zinke expected to be confirmed as the secretary of the Interior Department, Montanans will soon have a unique opportunity to choose a new representative in the U.S. Congress.

Though the candidates have yet to be announced, Greg Gianforte — a multimillionaire from New Jersey whom Montanans rejected as their governor a mere two months ago — is expected to be the nominee for the Republican ticket.

Thanks to city on path work

Legislative hypocrisy

Published on Mon, 01/30/2017 - 2:43pm

Editor:

So our state Legislature, in all its wisdom, is supporting spending $2 million a year on sage grouse conservation just to prevent the bird’s listing as an endangered species, but is waffling on using $20,000 to cover some expenses of a newly proposed hazmat response task force that would help prepare rural first responders for dealing with toxic chemical spills from semi-trucks and trains.

Perhaps they think loss of human life does not matter. Oh, except in the case of a woman’s right to choose.

Brace for impact

In case you haven’t noticed, or rather pretend not to notice, we have currently in America a president who continually makes grossly inaccurate claims in his attempt to manipulate the public consciousness with “alternative facts” and bald-faced lies. In response, or lack thereof, to this outrage, many elected cowards in the Senate and House of Representatives prefer to live in the shadow of shame rather than to speak boldy in defense of truth, honesty and integrity, thus leaving conformable mediocrity to triumph over fidelity.

Christmas Dinner gratitude

On Sunday, Dec. 25, 2016, Christmas was celebrated by Livingston-area folks at the Park County Fairgrounds. This event included warm hospitality, lovely decorations, and a fine, traditional Christmas dinner honoring the timeless birth of Jesus Christ.

It was made possible by the generosity of local churches, business, and individuals volunteering time and other resources to bring this, for the 33rd consecutive year, to our community.

Speak up on indoor swimming pool

There are so many “special interest” groups in Livingston, all wanting money for their special projects. The kids got soccer fields and a skate park and ballfields.

Walkers and bikers have paths for their interests.

How about an indoor swimming pool that could benefit all age groups, from babies to elderly, and would benefit so many all year around?

Missing the point

Regarding Thomas Burns’ attack on Buck Crawford’s “Snowflake Missive” — I would say Mr. Burns both completely missed what Buck said and anecdotally demonstrated the point Buck was making, all at the same time.

Buck should be able to clarify his own point, to ensure it is done accurately, but this is The Enterprise’s sandbox and their rules. And, as we all know, the rules are, if your letter is attacked, you can’t reply.
