Effective January 1, 2023, the Montana minimum wage increased 75 cents to $9.95 per hour. It’s the largest inflationary increase since voters passed a ballot initiative to increase the minimum wage by $1.00 an hour to $6.12 in January 2017 and then make inflationary changes each year. An estimated 23,500 Montana workers, or five percent of the workforce, received hourly wages less than $9.95 in 2022 and are likely to receive higher wages due to the 2023 minimum wage increase, state labor officials said....
Technology never ceases to amaze me! Not only have they invented cars which drive themselves (something I am going to need very soon, and my family might argue that I need right now), but drones are going to change the way we live and play. They now have drones which will deliver beer from shoreline bars out to ice fishermen in their huts. The beer is ordered and paid for using an app, and quicker than you can burn your bratwurst on the hut barbecue, your cold beer is delivered right to your hut with the aid of GPS! Long ago, I began looking...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, even though Christmas has passed, this was thought-provoking; Sarah Young wrote some interesting thoughts, so, just sharing a little bit of what she wrote: “I am leading you along a way that is uniquely right for you. The closer to Me you grow, the more fully you become your true self – the one I designed you to be. Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with Me diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in My mysterious wisdom and ways, I enable you to follow this...

Senator Steve Hinebauch, R-Wibaux, is sponsoring a bill to help maintain and increase hunters’ access to private land through Montana’s Block Management Program. Senate Bill 58 would double the limit on the money that landowners can receive for participating in the Block Management Program from the current $25,000 per year to $50,000 per year. The increase would help compensate landowners for voluntarily allowing public hunters onto their properties. “Block Management is one of the best and most popular conservation tools we have in Monta...

In the meantime, the voters of House District 37 graciously reelected me to a 2nd term. Thank you! The interim was busy. I served on the Legislative Interim Audit Committee, the Natural Resources and Transportation...
