The thing is, the Ward 6 councilwoman also likes deer, grouse, ground squirrels and baby bunnies. Marler, a natural areas specialist with the University of Montana, said the Missoula City Council vote Monday to preserve the leash law on the North Hills and Mount Jumbo has some people thinking she doesn’t like pooches AND that [...]
Link here* for the list of Montana projects slated for federal stimulus dollars. Mayor John Engen sent over the list. Many of the Missoula items are related to wastewater. Hmmm. Maybe sewer rates won’t go up this year?

Repeal the leash law.

Complete with [...]

Some of the good news: Sen. Baucus helped [...]
Eager for some of Joe Gorsh’s famous chicken-fried steaks, this driver took a little-used shortcut to the Gorsh front door at 4511 Hillview Way. (Just kidding.)
Here’s another photo and email from Gorsh. (Lightened by Missoulian designer Ken Barnedt for your viewing pleasure.) Again, Gorsh is a resident who wants the road rebuilt but didn’t think [...]
