Over four years ago, Marilyn Hartley took over the administrative clerk duties for the Cooke City Fire District. At the time, the accounting records of the district were not very well organized and financial reports were unavailable.

I’m writing on behalf of the Yellowstone River, which we in Montana proudly call, “the longest undammed river in the Lower 48.”

Unfortunately, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soon to build a river-spanning, above-water concrete dam across the iconic Yellowstone River near Glendive.
