City and County Government
Props are great in council chambers, and this week’s Missoula City Council meeting yielded at least two. I remember a few years ago when someone whipped out a pair of handcuffs to protest an SID. Then, there was the man who wore a giant chicken suit during the chicken wars.
(Those meetings? “Bock you.” “No. [...]
I was going to clean before the 2010 New Year, but the year didn’t wait for me. Cleaning means pitching some notebooks and saving papers and scanning others. So I’m in the middle of it here and wanted to share some of the information I gleaned this year that didn’t turn into stories and scan [...]
The yucky smells come from the sewer plant, and they come from EKO Compost, too. But the air is smelling rosier and will keep clearing up, albeit “with substantial capital investment.”

Last week at Missoula City Council’s regular meeting, longtime city critic Will Snodgrass played a recording intending to show the Public Works director isn’t straight with people.
