by Pete Talbot Filing deadline isn’t until March 15 at 5 p.m. but there are already some interesting developments in Missoula area races. First, a little flip-flop. Democratic Rep. Teresa Henry has filed for termed-out Democratic Sen. Carolyn Squires’ seat (SD 48). And Ms. Squires has filed for Ms. Henry’s house seat (HD 96). Teresa [...]
by jhwygirl Alternate title: How Dangerous is the Montana GOP? Answer: Very I don’t know how much people have heard or read about Wednesday’s vote on HR3 (I ever-so-briefly mentioned it here), but as a result of the party-line 50-50 vote, Democrats are receiving nasty emails and death threats for their “no” vote. The bill [...]
by jhwygirl Will the legislature meet its constitutionally imposed 90 day deadline to get the budget done? Today’s Missoulian story on that subject is basically a rehashed story a’la 2007 – no fault of their own…I think we expect the legislators in Helena to kick things into a second session. Now, rumors have been circulating [...]
by jhwygirl HB2, the general appropriations bill, is back on the House floor for vote Thursday. Will the evenly split House concur the amendments added in the Senate – including the cutting of CHIP by 15,000 kids? House Democrats, headed up by Speaker Bob Bergren of Havre, have promised to reject the amendments, so tomorrow’s [...]
by jhwygirl What tangled web 4&20 weaves….. First Pronghorn reminds us of Rep. Bill Nooney’s house bill proposing a state love song. Then, in another post, klemz provides us with a link to the song that Nooney has proposed for the state love song. Now, it’s a lovely song…. There’s a place out in the [...]
by jhwygirl How the kids had the time to track everyone down and write so much great coverage is such a short amount of time, I’ll never know. I couldn’t even get out of bed on Wednesday until well after noon. Missoula’s Choice 2008 has 3 pages of coverage of post-election day coverage that’s pretty [...]
by jhwygirl Provisional ballots in HD-100′s race – Bill Nooney v Democrat Willis Curdy could bring the final count in that race (currently 2195 Nooney – 2162 Curdy) into Curdy’s favor. 868 provisional ballots, to be counted on Monday, may hold those votes. In Laurel, HD-59 “Doc” Woerner is down by 22 votes to Krayton [...]
by Pete Talbot Contributors at 4&20, and a few other Montana political blogs, try to maintain some semblance of objectivity — either in the posts themselves or in the comments section. I believe allowing the opposition the opportunity to weigh in goes a long way toward site legitimacy and civil discourse. Otherwise, blogs are just [...]
by Pete Talbot Gov. Schweitzer: crazy like a fox? At first I was shocked to see the Good Gov telling the NRA-loving gun crowd to vote for Libertarian Bob Barr in the presidential election. Has Schweitzer lost his marbles? But strategically, I guess it makes sense. If one assumes that the folks who make gun [...]
by jhwygirl Gary Brown, Democratic primary winner of HD-100′s race has made the tough decision to withdraw his candidacy due to health concerns. He and his family are in our thoughts and prayers. As Pete noted in his most recent post, the Missoula County Democrats Central Committee will be meeting next Tuesday, August 12th (7:00 [...]
a guestpost by Gary Brown Gary’s graciously given us a guestpost ~~Jason Wiener Democrats in HD 100 have two options in the primary. I, Gary Brown, bring progressive social policy and hard-headed conservation positions formed by decades of service to the state and nation, both in the armed forces and managing Montana’s bountiful natural resources–commitments [...]
by jhwygirl I guess this would be an official endorsement, folks. I think E. Willis Curdy is the best candidate to oust Bill Nooney (who doesn’t even live in HD-100) from his seat as representative for HD-100. Curdy is also the best person to bring some logic back to the state house, with his 30 [...]
by Bill Vaughn Bill Vaughn is a contributing editor to Outside Magazine, and has written articles for a number of national publications including Men’s Journal, Ski, and Salon. He has graciously allowed me to repost some of his political thoughts, including those on Rep. Bill Nooney. Nooney, a Republican, represents the Grass Valley/Mullan Road area [...]
by Pete Talbot It takes a professional writer with some personal experience with Bill Nooney to really do justice to the representative from H.D. 100. Bill Vaughn over at Dark Acres gives an excellent synopsis of Nooney’s infamous first term in the Montana House of Representatives. My only complaint with the piece is this line: [...]
by Pete Talbot There are about a half-dozen contested races, so far, for the Montana Legislature. The filing began Tuesday and ends Thursday, March 20. The secretary of state’s office updates the list online, daily. In our neck of the woods, there is a state senate primary, which Matt covered over at LiTW. But the [...]
by Pete Talbot My very first piece here at 4&20 Blackbirds, almost seven months ago, was on Republican legislator Bill Nooney. He “represents” House District 100 on Missoula’s western edge. My post basically said that Nooney, who had painted himself as a moderate during his campaign, had voted lock step with the most right-wing element [...]
by Pete Talbot Writer John Adams has a side bar in the Missoula Independent (May 24-May 31 issue) on Missoula’s Republican Representative Bill Nooney. It paints him as a consensus building, moderate sort of fellow. If you look at his voting record, he definitely is not. He voted lock step with the most radical elements [...]
