Montana state agencies would be allowed to charge members of the public or groups for commenting on environmental reviews under a law passed by a House committee this week.
Rep. Denley Loge, R-St. Regis, said he brought House Bill 695 to the House Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday in part to discourage submission of form letters as public comment on environmental impact statements, or EISs. The bill would allow an agency while conducting public comment for an EIS to charge a fee for any written or emailed public comment, but would not charge a fee for commenting during a public hearing.
Sorry about missing you last week. I got a stomach bug and it was really hard to look at the computer screen and try to write. My head and stomach feel much better.
Iâve been fortunate that was probably the first time I have been sick since the pandemic hit. I guess limited contact with people and wearing a mask has its advantages.

Talking journalism and broadcasting. I was delighted when Kiersten Eury asked me if I would speak to some of her classes. Monday we had three sections online with journalism, publication and broadcasting students from West Cabarrus, Cox Mill and Jay M. Robinson. Ms. Eury, Ms. Ramsey, Ms. Meehan and Ms. Corlâs students had really good questions. Iâm not sure I answered them all. I enjoy telling people our industry.
Farming Falmouth has its eye on a two-lot, 4.86-acre parcel of land on Old Meetinghouse Road directly across from Tony Andrews Farm, which was listed for sale on March 1.
Most of the land on the parcel, which has a steep slope at the back leading to a Handy cranberry bog, is âprime agricultural soil,â Farming Falmouthâs board of directors vice president Ellie Costa told members of the Agriculture Commission at Monday nightâs meeting, March 29.
Farming Falmouth would like to purchase this land, which is owned by Tom Arnold, with a vision that it be used in conjunction with Tony Andrews Farm, which was acquired by the Town of Falmouth and The 300 Committee Land Trust in February 2018 to save the townâs largest remaining farm from development.
