It’s a magical time of year in Montana. After approximately 237 months of winter, the snow has (mostly) melted, the trees are getting their leaves, and it’s time to mow the lawn again. I even put a fresh tank of sunshine in my car. Hang on – what was that last part? This year, we’re welcoming springtime with a rooftop full of solar s. Sunlight is supplying all our energy needs and we’re sending out extra electrons to power our neighbors’ homes. But my favorite part of having solar s is plugging in the car and letting the...
As I left the Capitol on April 30, I was overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude for the opportunity to serve SD 15 the past four months. While it wasn’t without its challenges, I am proud of all the legislature accomplished this year, and more importantly, I’m proud of how we worked together to the bills that you, my constituents, told me were important to you. Let’s start with the positives. We accomplished the “big three” priorities we set at the beginning: protecting our rural hospitals and clinics by renewing Medicaid...

When you and your partner are honest with each other about money and financial goals, it can help build trust, leverage your strengths and help pave the way for a financial happily ever after. Since talking about money can be difficult, begin with conversations not so much about money itself but about the things that matter to you. You’ll find these are also your financial priorities and a good way to see if you’re on the same page, or how far apart you might...
This was written on Sunday: a very cool and windy day. The only redeeming feature is it gave us some measurable rain. And while it dropped to 36° at our place, the precip remained wet and didn’t turn white. The trees are all leafed out, and yet we’re still getting lots of the hulls from that process deposited on our front deck. Those sticky, resin-coated things get tracked inside. You can’t avoid stepping on them. The resulting yellow, sticky spots on the floor are hard to remove. I’ve found that Greased Lightning dissolves that...
