Why? Because you get to knit and play Sudoku!
Just kidding. It’s your patriotic duty, according to a couple elections judges who love the work.
Here’s that story. This year, some 600 judges are needed, and the county is 175 short. Call 258-4751 ASAP to help.
As for being short, we were short on space yesterday, so the [...]
First things first: There’s nothing like starting off a Missoula City Council meeting with the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts. Super cute.
Secondly, the loan forgiveness to the North Missoula Community Development Corporation passed, but I didn’t get to hear the whole conversation. I was pretty bummed because I wanted to hear from all the new [...]
Tonight, the Missoula City Council takes up forgiving a portion of a loan for the Burns Street Commons.
It’s a new council, and I’m pretty interested in the discussion ’cause I don’t feel like I can predict how some of the new folks will vote or the questions they’ll ask. Anticipation!

That’s great news. It means direct flights, and it means cheap flights.
My family lives there, and so [...]

The department re-opened two cases as of the latest report and gives a full account Wednesday to the Missoula City Council Public Safety and Health Committee. Chief Mark Muir [...]
I am waiting to hear back from seven people, so I thought I’d report a couple things here in the meantime.
1. Do you remember the latest story I wrote about the North Missoula Community Development Corporation? And Councilman Bob Jaffe’s idea to help them out? Well, it involves forgiving a $400,000 loan the city made [...]
So I’ve written some stories about paying for sidewalks, and one idea is a local option gas tax, but it requires Missoula County commissioners to put the matter on the ballot, AND I hadn’t talked with those folks yet, so today, I did, and some questions came up about what the law allows and requires, [...]
