Editor’s note: E-City Beat respects this writer’s request for anonymity, for obvious reasons. We would like to also mention the upcoming appointment of a GFPS School Board member. The GFPS Selection Committee will conduct an interview for the two applicants from 2-4 PM on July 16 at the district office. The interview session is open…
Last summer I submitted an ethics complaints to Cascade County Attorney Josh Racki regarding the use of government resources and facilities by both the City of Great Falls and Cascade County to benefit the private nonprofit Big Sky Country National Heritage Area Inc. I alleged there were violations under the Montana Code Annotated and the…
Are all those booms, pops and ka-bams we heard over the weekend as Great Falls celebrated Independence Day 2021 the sound of freedom – or the sound of irresponsibility? Here’s something I posted on my personal Facebook page last Wednesday: “Let’s be careful and kind out there, Great Falls. Hot and dry conditions here means…
I’ve been asked by several Great Falls citizens why the City’s 2013 Growth Policy advocates support for the Big Sky Country National Heritage Area, Inc. Simple answer: it doesn’t.

The two men running to…
On Tuesday, June 15, Cascade County Sheriff Jesse Slaughter announced that he is switching political party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. “It is my duty to serve all people of Cascade County to do this effectively I have to know I have the support of the party I have aligned myself with. So I am…
In our continuing series featuring idiotic social media posts by local politicians, this one may win the grand prize. It’s hard to imagine a more offensive and clueless meme than the one proudly being posted on local “Social Justice Warrior” and two-time loser for Great Falls elective office Jasmine Taylor’s Facebook page.
