Th e phrase lux et veritas is translated into the formation of the Tribunal by the immediate past English as light and truth. Light and truth, there are Grand Master. It is a fact that there were more Masters few directives that could provide a better path for one than necessary for this to happen.

However, as the elected and installed DGM Masters that had not served with RW Duff y, so as to (and Grand Master elect) I have assumed the powers, not demonstrate a bias.

Th e members of the Tribunal found RW Duff y that has been generated without approval of the unanimously guilty on all fi ve charges and he was Grand Master.

The anti-tax increase, lower-government spending and pro-free market philosophies that Natelson has advocated are now firmly embedded in the mainstream of the Montana Republican Party and with most GOP legislators. That wasn't necessarily the case when Natelson began speaking out here. Natelson, 61, said recently he will resign his job as a law professor at the University of Montana and take a job at the Independence Institute, a Colorado-based think tank that advocates free-market solutions to public policy issues. He has taught at the UM law school since 1987. Although he's been less active politically more recently to concentrate on his teaching, Natelson over the years has been a prominent political crusader, participant and commentator.

Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov.

  • Montana: the Last, Best Place?
    CHAPTER 2 Montana: The Last, Best Place? o understand politics in Montana and the process of representation, one T does not begin with people or politicians. One begins with place, because without place the rest does not—cannot—be made to make sense. How Montanans understand themselves, their representatives, their history, and their relationship to others—including the federal government—begins and ends with place. It is also place that presents Montanans with their greatest challenges and opportuni- ties. To use Richard Fenno’s terminology, we must begin with the geographic constituency—not only as a physical space and place, but as a shared idea and experience. To understand Montana and Montanans, we must start with the land known variously as the Treasure State, Big Sky Country,distribute or perhaps the most evocative: The Last, Best Place. In this chapter, I provide the reader with a short historyor of Montana’s relation- ship to the land, its historical development, the complicated relationship it has with the federal government, and the challenges the state faces as it transitions from a resource-intensive economy to a more diverse one based upon tourism and hi-tech industries. I claim that the deep connection Montanans have with their physical surroundings shapes howpost, they view politics, the cleavages which exist among them, and the representatives they choose to represent them. Place also dictates the representational choices members of Congress make to build trust with their constituents. In particular, members of Congress are careful to cultivate a representational style known as “one of us” with their constituents.
