For the next few weeks as we'll be work on a rebuilding project. Contrary to rumors, the new construction that began in June behind Rusty Relics isn't a huge hair salon, strip club or whatever else people are saying.

In 2020, the state of Montana joined a pack of 20 other states and the District of Columbia when it legalized recreational marijuana. Montana voters passed ballot Initiative 190 on a thin margin of 57 percent for and 43 percent against. The legalization came with a brand-new pipeline of tax money and now that the money is starting to flow, a debate is building in the Capitol over how that money should be used and who should be controlling it. Just like alcohol or tobacco and...
