HELENA â A bill working its way through the Montana Legislature could result in hundreds of positions within state government being reclassified from career positions to political appointments, meaning staffers would likely turn over as administrations change.
The billâs sponsor, House Speaker Pro Tempore Casey Knudsen, R-Malta, has argued that having more politically appointed staffers in the state workforce would make it easier for elected officials to shift the direction of state agencies by giving them and governor-appointed agency directors more opportunity to appoint like-minded aides.
âWhen a new administration is elected, itâs because the people expect some change. And when all you get is one appointed official to be able to do that, itâs very difficult,â Knudsen said at a Feb. 24 hearing.

In the 1980s, Stein was freelancing as a musician and composer for theatre and dance. During that time, he would work in Regina as a composer for the New Dance Horizons, where he helped them with their production management skills. When the 1990s came around, he took a job at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, where he was the Associate Director of Program Planning, a position that led him all over Canada and the world. It was then during the early 2000s that he decided he wanted to be closer to the art. “In the beginning of the early 2000s, I decided I would recommit to working in small arts organizations. Big biocracies are good for jobs, but you are quite far away from the actual hands-on art-making, and that’s the part I loved,” he said. “When I was faced with a career change opportunity, and there was this little cool company in Regina, I decided that I would make the plunge.”
A New Space Race

t was an era marked by fierce competition that sometimes bore deadly consequences. In 1967, both countries “ignored growing design and manufacturing problems,” launching two space flights that ended in four combined fatalities. Even before the competition cost human lives, risks were taken on both sides in the name of one-upmanship. After all, upon hearing of American advancements in space, the Soviets rushed to launch their Sputnik satellite–even though it was untested.
Some argue that the conflict concluded when one side sent a man to the moon. Others point out that the competition didn’t officially end until a ceremonious 1975 handshake in space. However, in light of the recent space collaboration agreement between Russia and China, it looks like the age-old space race between the U.S. and Russia might have made its way into the 21st century.
