The Below Letter to the Editor Describes Abuse of Power Against Montana Land Owner Dear Editor: Years ago, before most in this area understood who American Prairie Reserve (APR) was or what their nefarious goals were, APR was able to obtain a "Right of First Refusal" on a family ranch in southern Phillips County. Ranchers were suffering from low prices and drought and many were losing everything, and APR took advantage of that hardship. A Right of First Refusal (ROFR) gives the holder a right to match any legitimate offer should the owners...
The 4 December issue of RRT contained what I found dismal news about education in Montana; State Supt. Arntzen showed 44% of students proficient in reading and 39% in Mathematics! Good grief! (Does this explain why sometimes at IGA a clerk needs a calculator to compute the cost of two $0.98 bakery items?) In the same assessment framework that provided these test data, I wonder how Roundup fared and hope someone in our schools’ administration will put our town’s or county’s results in this column. It interested me that Supt. Arntzen’s response w...

by Mike Jopek Here we go again. Guess they thought that 2023 didn’t hurt the middle class enough.
