City and County Government
I can’t believe I never posted these pictures, but maybe I was just saving the best for last.
Here’s Mrs. Goose and Rita Mae from Commissioner Michele Landquist’s ranch. Aren’t they awesome? A perfect fix for the winter doldrums in Missoula.
From Landquist:
My goose (Mrs. G. AKA Mrs. Goose) has been with us a very long [...]
Remember the pet parade? I forgot a couple. I think it happened when I went on vacation, far away from the Missoula cold.
I was reminded the other day when I saw pictures of Commissioner Michele Landquist and her adorable little lambs in the newspaper. (Stay warm, little guys, so you grow big and we can [...]
I’m pretty behind on RedTape, but that’s alright. I have lots of things to post, and I’ll just start with this one: A legal analysis of House Bill 516 from the ACLU of Montana.
There. It’s interesting reading, and now you have it. If you are reading this from a warm and sunny locale, I am [...]
Here’s Mayor John Engen’s letter asking Helena to stand down. It’s about the anti-discrimination ordinance and the bill that would undo it.
I hear the chair of the House Judiciary Committee will be limiting comments on legislation tomorrow to five minutes total per bill. What, run out of time discussing spears and marriage counseling and cowboy [...]
The latest work product from Missoula City Councilor Dave Strohmaier is here. It’s an infrastructure plan!
“In 2009, I convened what I dubbed the Rattlesnake Transportation Infrastructure Summit. This was an initial meeting of representatives of the upper and lower Rattlesnake Neighborhood Council leadership teams and other individuals selected by the leadership teams.
“My goal was to [...]
Back talk in a good way, I think.
This year, after some 275 people learned the state of the city and the affairs of the county over lunch, folks asked lots of questions.
Cool, right? It happened at the annual Missoula Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon. In the most nerdy way, I look forward to this event [...]
The Missoula Best Place Project to kickstart the local economy is firing on all cylinders.
… the Best Place Project has raised 77 percent of its $3.2 million goal, according to project representatives.
In less than a year, to boot. Remember the goals? It’s a five year project Mayor John Engen launched last year, and here’s the [...]
Here’s the link to the super short bill draft that’d incinerate Missoula’s anti-discrimination ordinance. If it passes muster.
OK. Well. I’m watching a wolverine documentary right now and I guess the streaming on the TV is interfering with this computer stuff. (Would the Google fiber deal fix it? I don’t know.)
So here’s the link: http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2011/lchtml/LC1865.htm.
Some folks [...]
So when I got hold of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy communications director — all the way in Washington, D.C. — he told me he’d just been in Missoula to bike the Kim Williams Nature Trail.
Well, not just, but last summer. It’s hard to imagine biking anywhere right now, although I’ve seen folks out there.
Anyway, I don’t [...]
I don’t know why, but chickens seem to be accosting me from all sides this week. I even made some great chicken enchiladas, although not as part of any theme or for revenge. Just because they are easy to make and also delicious.
The latest chicken story is this Eating Missoula column. Read about Heather’s Heritage [...]
