New season of ‘Montana PBS Reports: IMPACT’ to premiere Sept. 12
BOZEMAN — The third season of “Montana PBS Reports: IMPACT” will premiere with a new episode Sept. 12. The episode examines two proposed amendments to the Montana Constitution. The first, Constitutional Initiative 126, would end the practice of each political party having its own primary ballot and create a system where all candidates appear on the same ballot, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election, regardless of party. The second amendment examined in the episode, Constitutional Initiative 127, would make it so candidates would need a majority of votes to win an election, rather than a plurality as they do now.
Montana Ranchers Burned Out: Where’s the Big Talk Now?
Where are our guys? Has anyone heard from Tester or Raines yet on help for the ranchers who have been burned out by the fires? There are 56 huge fires now burning in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Most of ours are related to the fierce lightning that moved through last Wednesday. I saw some of the most gut-wrenching photos this morning of a family's cows that couldn't get out of the way in time. It broke my heart to see this cruelty that Mother Nature delivered to them. I love all my animals, much like most ranchers, and I don't know if I could handle it either. Cows and their calves lying there next to each other where they died an awful death. I wish there was more we could do.
