As we fall into winter, the approximately one million residents of our beautiful, relatively unspoiled state has been turned over, for its care, to three rich white men who are not native Montana men. Greg Gianforte, elected Governor, is from California. Matt Rosendale, elected to The House of Representatives, is from Maryland, and Steve Daines, elected to the Senate for the second time, is from California. They are all Republicans and, as a native Montana boy, these three men do not represent the values and love for this land that I grew up with. They all were trump supporters, and it is depressing to me that the people of Montana have bought into the sad prospect of a false, dangerous, and sad economic lie.
Montana is a poor state, rich in natural resources, rich in natural beauty, and strong people who cope with harsh weather, and lonely winters. And now we are being ravaged by the Covid pandemic that as of April has not gotten better, but has gotten much worse. Economically people are hanging on by threads, and without some type of federal assistance logistically and monetarily, more and more people and small businesses are going to be put into dire circumstances, many already are! This doesn’t even take under…
