Shuffle Board
Sara Rouse was appointed Chair of the Board of Trustees of Philipsburg Schools at the meeting of the School Board last week. Rouse has been serving for several years as Vice Chair of the Board. The move was brought about by the impending resignation from the Board of former Chair Kim Pawlak, who is anticipating relocating with her family to Texas in the coming weeks.
Montana Rep. Sweeney reflects on his Freshman year
by Rep. Mark Sweeney, Montana House District 77
It was an honor and a pleasure to represent my constituents and all of Montana in the 66th legislative Session. This was my first (freshman) term and hopefully not my last as I very much enjoyed it. In Montana we have a citizen Legislature that meets for only 90 days every two years. This means we are not professional politicians and we only receive pay for the days that we are in session. As a Member of the Democratic Party I served in the minority which comes with its own unique challenges. If legislation is to be passed you must reach across the isle, build relationships and convince others your bill is worthy to become law.
Summer fun
In bigger towns and cities than ours, municipalities will have a Parks and Recreation Department and those towns will publish a guide, a collection of happenings and activities that take will place in the coming months so citizens can make plans to attend. Kristi Mainwaring brought this to our attention in the hope that we might be able to publish a collection of Granite County happenings over the summer so we went through last year’s newspapers to see what we could find there.
