Another campaign slogan I wish someone would use:
"I will fight for you! No really I will actually punch other people in the face on your behalf."
I kind of like living in a community with clean running water, paved streets, a police force, no ankle-deep sewage overflowing the sidewalks, no backyard hog pens and not having to man the bucket brigade if the house down the street catches on fire.
You?
I was born in Forsyth MT many moons ago. Raised in Great Falls. My MT roots go back a couple of generations.
But my ancestors didn't come to MT over the Bering Strait with Piltdown Man to settle in the Bitterroot thousands of years ago, so I guess I'm not a "true Montanan." 🤣
Song lyric snippet:
I’m drunk today and I’m seldom sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
Ah, but I’m sick now, my days are numbered,
So come all ye young men and lay me down.
Carrickfergus - Van Morrison & various others
Gobs of room under the Big Sky.
We don't need massive population growth in order to start seeing massive economic growth, value-added ag, aerospace, responsible mining and timber etc.
No need to sacrifice our way of life in order to create opportunities for our kids in MT.
I'm not sure some folks realize how transformative these three things are for Great Falls/Cascade County:
Sentinel Missile Project - multi-billion $$ upgrade
Janicki Industries - making GF a world hub for the aerospace industry
Soon-to-be Chic-fil-A in Great Falls😂
Ricky's Campaign Tip
If you're running for a local office or MT legislative seat, then focus on stuff like MT tax reform, infrastructure, and public safety - instead of 'No Kings', 'Orange Man Bad' and 'Free Palestine'.
You're welcome. 😀
I was born and raised in MT, raised my kids here and started to help raise my grandkids here. I love our way of life and our people.
But we have to stop exporting our greatest resource - young people. Because they can't make a living here tying flies and serving huckleberries.
Montana, we have to stop thinking that we can have a successful economy based on huckleberries, fishing/hunting guides, and non-profits.

Name the song and songwriter.
"Now there's trouble busing in from out of state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gambling commission's hanging on by the skin of its teeth"
Anyone know who or what 'Big Sky Workers Coalition' is?
They tried, unsuccessfully, to stop or slow down construction of the WinCo store in Great Falls by lodging a legal appeal to the building permit. Their appeal was then withdrawn only yesterday.
Good news, Great Falls.
The Board of Appeals Hearing planned for Thursday, Sept. 24, has been canceled.🗓️
The appeal concerned a building permit for the construction of a WinCo store located at 301 NW Bypass.
The appellant filed a Notice of Dismissal with the City on Sept. 21, withdrawing the appeal.

If you’ve ever worked in the bar/restaurant business (I have) then you know that there are specific times and days you get slammed with a big influx of customers - like dinner on Valentines Day, brunch on Mother's Day etc.
