The Montana Plan, a breakthrough legal strategy, will stop corporate and dark money cold. It's how Montanans will beat Citizens United and take back our politics.
Montana's laws include three powerful provisions that give us a clear path toward keeping corporations out of our politics: power to alter or revoke, universal application, and out-of-state corporation limits. Together, these provisions mean Montana has full authority to no longer grant corporations the power to spend in our politics—across the board, and for good. We'll need your help. The Transparent Election Initiative is spearheading a ballot initiative that gives Montana voters the ability to implement The Montana Plan. Volunteer, engage, and sign the petition when ready!
With few community-based mental and behavioral health resources in the Flathead Valley — and as waitlists grow at the Montana State Hospital — a vulnerable population of people with mental illness is now cycling through the streets, jail and local hospital.
On Feb. 7, a 32-year-old man was arrested at the intersection of North Main Street and West Center Street in Kalispell after he was seen charging passing cars. He yelled at pedestrians on the sidewalk and threw a glass bottle into the road before he was arrested by Kalispell Police Department officers. According to charging documents, he spit in the back of the patrol vehicle on the way to the Flathead County Detention Center, where he was booked on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. A month later, on March 28, he was arrested again for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer just before 7 a.m. But this time, he stayed in jail for the next six months where he “decompensated” and became more aggressive.
As tax bills made their way to property owners across Montana this fall, anecdotal reports about the impacts of the state’s landmark 2025 tax legislation — or, at least, its initial phase — spilled into headlines: lower bills for many homeowners, higher bills for some apartment complexes and sizable increases for at least some high-end homes. The reworked tax code was aimed at tackling years of frustration over rising residential tax bills. Given the complexity of Montana’s sprawling tax system, however, proponents, opponents and taxpayers caught in the middle had been holding their breath to see whether the measures would work as intended.
