Dear Editor, Outdoor recreation comprises $7.1 billion of Montana's economy and generates $286 million in tax revenue. Additionally, the outdoor recreation economy provides 71,000 jobs to Montanans.

Doing so will result in sustainable timber management and forest restoration, protect the headwaters of...
Last spring I, Lowell Young, was watching Operation Outdoor Freedom on the Discovery Channel. It is a great show that honors our Veterans.

We had a nice trip to watch one of our grandsons play 10U AA hockey just outside Chicago over the President's Day weekend. (His team competes at the single A level, but got bumped up.)
