by Kirk Boxleitner

In the two years that Special Olympics Montana did charity runs in the Deer Lodge area, the run never ventured to Homestake Pass, but after CO- VID forced the annual event to take the year off in 2020, local organizer Danny Fosness decided to get ambitious for the May 22 Law Enforcement Torch Run fundraiser. Fosness and five other area runners — includ- ing Darryl Barton, Steve Honer of the Butte Police, Tommy Allison of the Anaconda Police, Ariel Beck of the Deer Lodge Mixed Martial Arts scene, and her husband Shea O’Neill of the Butte MMA scene — are set to receive a patrol escort on the I-90 ramp on Continental Drive, before continuing 10 miles to a chain removal area on the Homestake Mia King Chavez, left, Emily Hansen and Mackenzie Grady spend the morning disecting a rainbow trout along with fellow fifth-graders from Granville Stuart Elementary School last week.

Bills: Deluge of messages 846-7900 • www.deerlodgerialto.com • www.facebook.com/DeerLodgeRialto D-Bozeman, said in an interview. Rep. Frank Garner, a Republican lawmaker from Kalispell, echoed the sentiment. A high-school civics view of the Legislature, he noted, really doesn’t take into account the volume of material lawmakers have to contend with. Even though topic-focused legislative committees serve as a first round of review for proposed bills, Garner estimated lawmakers cast as many as 1,000 floor votes over the course of the four-month session and receive as many as several hundred messages a week from the public. Montana lawmakers, he added, generally don’t have dedicated staffers to help them sort through the deluge. Journalists, lobbyists and the public are also often overwhelmed by session’s volume, giving lower-profile bills, beneficial or otherwise, space to move through the Legislature without widespread attention. The Montana Free Press newsroom, for example, refer- enced only 158 bills in its written coverage of the session. The Capitol’s power players are routinely accused of slipping significant legislation, or legislation that’s significant to spe- cial interests, beneath the radar. But a close examination of the low-profile bills indicates that many, if not most, are in fact nuts-and-bolts governance. Additionally, many of those measures pass with broad bipartisan support. Of the 721 bills endorsed by both chambers of the 2021 Legislature, 61% passed with no more than 20 “no” votes between the House and Senate. Of the 419 bills that passed while receiving FREE COVID-19 SUPPORT fewer than five comments, 76% did. MENTAL HEALTH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
