I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Bill Berg for Park County commissioner. As a Gardiner resident, I have had the opportunity to get to know Bill over the last few years that I have called Yellowstone my home. He is nothing short of an institution in our little town.

I support Marty Malone for county commissioner. Marty has lived and worked in Park County for nearly half of a century. He has years of experience as a county Extension agent and as our current commissioner. Marty has dealt with and understands the wildlife, planning, budgeting and other issues critical to our county, and we can rely on him to make informed decisions. Marty has always been responsive and professional whenever I have had a question or concern.

Please join me in supporting Marty in his re-election bid.

As the contracted grant writer/administrator for Park County, I work on a daily basis with many of the departments and the commissioners as I research, develop and submit funding applications. The money that has been secured over the past eight years has assisted Park County with important projects associated with public works, health, safety, mitigation and recreation. During this time, I have had much experience in dealing with different commissioners and can safely say that the county would benefit from more advanced and thoughtful rationale.

Kristen Juras is currently listed as one of 31 Adjuncts, or part-timers, at U of M School of Law who are employed based on enrollment in specific classes. Adjuncts have no rights or standing but are hired semester by semester on an as-needed list. She did teach full-time previously but should not be represented as a full professor.

She has no courtroom experience, no criminal law experience, and no civil litigation experience. These are the types of cases tried at the Supreme Court level.

An enthusiastic endorsement for Lamm

I enthusiastically endorse Debra Lamm Republican candidate for House District 60 in the November General Election. As a freshman legislator last session, she served Livingston and the state of Montana well. She always conducted herself in a manner that brought respect from other legislators. 

Marilyn Hartley more than qualified

I was glad to learn that the Park County commissioners are finally taking steps to get our cannon out where we can see it again. Kudos to Marilyn Hartley for taking on the project. She is a good choice because of her apparent appreciation of the history behind it.

Lamm listens and takes action

Editor,

I am voting to re-elect Debra Lamm for HD60. Before first being elected to this office, Debra asked for a meeting to discuss tax policy. She knew me as a CPA and tax preparer. She listened as I explained how complex our Montana state income taxes are and the difficulty for any individual to prepare their own return with the lowest legal tax bill.

Montana’s only congressional seat needs a visionary leader that believes and understands the power of education, good-paying jobs, a community that looks at renewables for a clean environment, and the strength of embracing diverse cultures.

Denise Juneau has a long record of commitment to the people of Montana. As our superintendent of public instruction, she oversaw a reduced dropout rate and historic graduation rates. When students succeed, all of Montana benefits.

Why we should vote for Debra Lamm

I attended a presentation by Debra Lamm regarding Common Core. She is very knowledgeable and dedicated to this issue. As a representative she has worked diligently on this and other issues that affect all of us. Her dedication is commendable.

I have a grandson attending school in Montana and my observations leave me concerned for his future. Debra is right on about what these children are faced with in our system.
