Lowering Prescription Drug Prices Starts with Addressing Patent Abuse
One of the most pressing issues facing healthcare today is skyrocketing prescription drug prices. Prescription drug expenditures already account for about one-fifth of all healthcare costs nationally, and that figure is projected to go up in the coming years. It’s a crisis coming to a head with one in four Americans unable to afford their medication.

Taxpayers Say 'No' to IRS Expansion
The Biden administration is attempting a top to bottom remaking of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which will only spell more frustration and pain for American taxpayers. Media headlines have focused on the plan to increase the IRS six-fold, with 87,000 additional agents and $46 billion in new spending on enforcement and litigation. The House of Representatives has voted to eliminate most of that funding, but the threat remains.

Working to get your money back to you
When you order a pizza and the total comes to $25 and you hand them a 50 dollar bill, have you ever had the restaurant tell you that they are going to keep your change in case their expenses are higher in the future? We know this sounds absurd, but not for the state government. Over the last two years, the state of Montana has over collected $1.6 Billion in unanticipated, unexpected, and unappropriated money from you, the Montana taxpayer.

Health Care Reforms Benefitting Montanans
The 2021 Montana Legislature passed major health care reforms to empower patients, reduce red tape for doctors, and provide access to more affordable care.

Guest view: Montana Democrats are allied with those in Washington
You don’t have to look far in today’s America to see the damage Joe Biden has done to our nation in just 13 short months as president: skyrocketing inflation, surging crime, global instability, sky-high gas prices, massive illegal immigration, and erosion of our personal rights are just the beginning of the failures. And while Montana Democrats always try to give the appearance they are distinct from their “woke” national party, they are in lockstep with the disastrous Biden agenda.

Montana voters spoke clearly last November.

Legislative Achievements
During the first half of the 67th Montana Legislature, the Republican majority logged important achievements, keeping the promises we made to our constituents. We tackled the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing the first hybrid session in Montana history. This hybrid model allowed both legislators and the public to participate remotely. Our COVID-19 Response Panel hired a dedicated contact tracer and implemented testing protocols.

Pandemic Underscores Need for Reforms in Healthcare Transparency
Opinion | Guest Column Legislators need to support market solutions to protect our patients and ensure access to quality care By Cary Smith // Dec 10, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has brought healthcare affordability into the spotlight like never before. The question is whether this crisis will be an impetus to rein in the alarming growth in healthcare costs or if we will go right back to business as usual.
Pandemic underscores need for reforms in healthcare transparency

In Congress, support is building to take up legislation to curb surprise medical billing.

Compressed single-shot hyperspectral imaging for combustion diagnostics
Abstract This paper demonstrates a compressed sensing-based single-shot hyperspectral imaging system for combustion diagnostics. The hyperspectral system can capture well-resolved spectra in a 2D plane through a single shot, i.e., converting a 3D data cube of 2D spatial and 1D spectral information into a compressed 2D hyperspectral image. Experimentally, the light emissions are first coded by a random binary pattern to generate the hyperspectral content, which is then sent through a spectrometer.

Gianforte the Conservative Montana Needs
Opinion | Letter Greg is the best candidate in this race By Cary Smith // Nov 1, 2019 For years Montana values have been under attack by liberal Democratic governors in Helena. They impose their radical agendas on the state, and Montana becomes less and less the state we all know and love. In November 2020, we need to put a stop to this. We need to elect strong conservatives up and down the ballot, but no race is more important than the governor’s race.
A fan of baseball, not animal abuse
I’ve attended my last Frederick Keys baseball game until I can be sure I won’t be subjected to the pathetic Cowboy Monkey Rodeo spectacle. What does this act have to do with baseball, and who can possibly enjoy watching those frightened monkeys riding dogs who are chasing sheep? It’s like a flashback to the 1950s and the promoter’s self-serving assurances that the show is not abusive are absurd.
Guest opinion: Colstrip bill puts good of NWE ratepayers first
Every Montana legislative session has at least one “Colstrip Bill” that is surrounded by controversy. The 2019 session is no different. The narrative regarding SB331, the Montana Energy Security Act, has been inaccurately skewed by groups who are ideologically opposed to the use of fossil fuels, even though they know Montana’s energy needs cannot be met by alternative sources.

#Shortstops: Keeping score 19th century-style
A rope was placed near a Pagoda building in center field, about 110 yards away from home plate. Two bases were located sixty feet apart on either side of home plate.

Coal presents economic opportunities for Montana, US
As home to some of our nation’s largest coal reserves, Montana plays a key role in the future of our nation’s energy economy. Unfortunately, Montana coal production has declined significantly in recent years—by as much as a third.
Infrastructure bill puts political 'pork' on state's credit card
Do you ever wonder how the state picks which road, bridge and sewer projects to fund each year? Historically, infrastructure grants in Montana are provided through several separate funding bills, passed individually by your representatives in the legislature. This process allows like proposals to stand on their own merits rather than having their fate tied to unrelated projects that the state pays for in a completely different way.
Solar plane pioneers lay out round-the-world flight plan
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The founders of a Swiss-made solar-powered aircraft that is attempting to fly around the world say their journey will include stops in India, China and the United States after it takes off as early as next month. Solar Impulse sponsors Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg announced the stopovers Tuesday as they laid out their planned flight path for the first time in Abu Dhabi.
