If a majority votes ‘YES’, then the new restrictions would mean, basically, that “…fireworks designed to leave the ground, such as rockets,shells, cakes, missiles, and roman candles; and 2) fireworksdesigned…
Editors note: On this day that our country celebrates a national holiday dedicated to honor one of the past’s greatest explorers. Some would like to denigrate the accomplishment of Christopher Columbus by attaching woke moralistic views of today to those of 500 years ago through revisionist history. Think for a moment what today’s moral evaluations…
E-City Beat recently received a photo of Great Falls Mayor candidate Jasmine Taylor holding a half-full weed pipe and lighter – apparently this photo has been making the rounds on social media.

It’s no longer surprising to anyone in Great Falls, or America, how far the ‘progressive left’ has devolved into hatred and vile political speech which, as we have all seen recently, incites violence.

This action was taken after Ms….
A Great Falls commission/mayor forum hosted by the Great Falls Association of Realtors was attended by all of the candidates – except mayoral hopeful Jasmine Taylor. She claims that she had no clue there was a forum scheduled and never received the email notice because it was sent to the wrong email address. It’s unfortunate…

Great Falls mayoral candidate Jasmine Taylor continues her run of wackiness and dumbness in a recent video posted on her candidate Facebook page. Taylor’s economic philosophy in her own words, repeated at least 3 times in the minute-and-a-half video: “Seize the means of production.” The phrase “seize the means of production” originates from Marxist theory,…
In response to a piece published in E-City Beat last month detailing her many calls to defund the police, Great Falls mayoral candidate Jasmine Taylor posted a video on her candidate Facebook page claiming she was only doing what Black Lives Matter told her to do. Here’s what Taylor said in her video about our…
