Below is a letter-to-editor that I wrote regarding a long-overdue court ruling on the legality of the Montana Legislature’s vote approving the CSKT Water Compact.

Once again we see the genius of the Clinton strategy to deflect public attention from […]
The establishment media is bought and paid for by the corporate lobbyists and establishment politicians. Everybody should be irate at the local news media and how they handled this Refugee incident in Twin Falls, and what is more abominable is the reaction of the city officials.
