Gold exploration risks too great

The environmental risks posed by Lucky Minerals proposal to explore for gold in Emigrant are far too grave to allow mining to move forward. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) concluded earlier this month that there would be no significant impacts from Lucky Mineral’s proposal to explore for gold. 

Gratitude after accident

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all who have reached out to me, randomly hugged me in the grocery store and prayed for me since my accident. I would not have made it this far in my recovery if it were not for the community’s outpouring of love and support. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the Livingston Enterprise for covering the positive side of law enforcement — this isn’t always the case in today’s media. Thomas and Tank send their love!

I read a recent letter to the editor with interest. The writer advocated a traditional Republican position in his letter supporting Trump. He advocated reducing taxes, right to bear arms, pro-life and appointment of a conservative judge.

Lamm has experience and qualities needed in the House

I support the re-election of State Rep. Debra Lamm. Rather than elect another freshman legislator, we have the opportunity for a greater voice in Helena by re-electing Debra Lamm who is a recognized leader and listens to all perspectives.

When we served together last session, I was immediately impressed with Debra. Despite the long hours and workload, she was always the first into the Capitol for the day, and one of the last to leave. This hard work and dedication gives Livingston and all Montanans the representation it deserves.

Biggest elephant in the room

Election drama has dominated the news for months, but what is most fascinating is what is not being reported about candidates’ issues, and the biggest elephant in that room is climate change.

Lamm’s values, work ethic match us

I am writing as a fifth-generation Park County resident and former legislator for Livingston.

In my view, it’s not about how long a person has lived here but if the elected official enjoys our way of life, do they want to preserve it, or does the candidate want to change our state to match where they came from.

Malone has been on the wrong side of every issue

Editor:

I’ve been contemplating whether to vote for Bill Berg or Marty Malone in the County Commission race. Marty has been a commissioner for almost eight years now and I figured I would go back through his voting record and see what he has accomplished in his eight years as commissioner. What surprised me was to find that he now supports and takes credit for many of the accomplishments that he had nothing to do with and voted against in his first several years as commissioner.

Wilson is the smart choice for District 3 County Commission

Editor:

Voters have important choices this election in national, state, and local races. I’m supporting Brad Wilson for District 3 County Commissioner, and here are a few reasons why: 

1. Brad made himself available to public scrutiny. He accepted all invitations to debate and participated in community events throughout the campaign season, providing an opportunity for voters to observe his campaign and ask him direct questions. Brad engaged with voters from Wilsall to Cooke City.
