This is important. Please read.

This is a post by Cat Country, in my opinion the only true Conservative, mature, intelligent media in Billings.

From favorite date-night spots to family diners that felt like home, Billings locals share the restaurants they still can’t forget.

It's really getting late to mail your ballot. They have to be delivered by Nov 4.

To be sure they are counted, you can hand deliver them to

217 N. 27th Street,
Room 101,
Billings, MT 59101
by 8 pm on Tuesday, Nov 4.

There is normally a uniformed officer in the lobby to receive the complete ballot in the envelope.

Mail today. Or you will need to take it downtown to make sure.

Yes, it's an AI photo with the same people. But it's hard to get that many people to meet and pose.

But many, many more are supporting Jennifer Owen for Mayor. Support Jennifer with your vote.

Mail it in before it's too late.

Thanks !!

So .... Who to vote for ?

Jennifer Owen, overwhelmingly...
Get rid of the Bill Cole Good Buddy elites

Council votes not as clear.

NEVER for Dan Tidswell. He does not want to hear from voters. I have proof.

Tom Rupsis has gone. Good riddance.

I'm still working on the rest. Nothing yet.

Let me connect the dots...

Mike Nelson and Bill Cole are social and political buddies, right ?

Doesn't Billings already suffer and stagnate enough from the Good Old Boy Buddy system?

Didn't Bill Cole try to manipulate and lie to voters to pass that awful $143 million levy, mostly for an ice rink castle?

And then voters were too smart for him and saw thru' that tax heavy pork barrel, defeating the $143 million financial fiasco 2 to 1? 69% to 31% ?

That vote proved that Bill Cole is completely out of touch with citizens, caring NOT one bit for the "little guy" but only for the wealthy elites? Bill Cole should have resigned then, for losing such a major no-confidence vote. But he still wants to be important.

Aren't Bill Cole and Mike Nelson good old boy buddies ?

Dots completely connected !!! Say NO to Mike Nelson and Bill Cole.

Say YES to Jennifer Owen !!!

Are you becoming more and more concerned about dangerous drivers here in Billings ? Do you kinda hold your breath and clench your fists when you enter a roundabout ?

We recently discussed the fact that MANY retail outlets, esp restaurants, have lately closed in Billings. Even though the population must be much higher due to all the new homes and apartments in west Billings. AND higher traffic has become a significant problem and concern.

Frankly, driving in traffic, especially the roundabouts, has really become a fear. My wife yesterday had to take evasive action to avoid being hit when she entered a roundabout. She was in the left lane, intending to go straight thru the roundabout when the driver in the right lane turned left in front of her in the roundabout.

The roundabouts have become more dangerous. People are driving faster, cutting others off.

Another "crotch rocket" motorcycle rider was killed last night. One recently died at my feet. There is no law enforcement for speeding and dangerous driving.

No one wants a hyper active Police, ticketing drivers for not using their signals when safely changing lanes gradually. Just to give them a sobriety test. I've lived in places like that. Police lights flashing all over town.

But yet there is a limit. When many believe it's somewhat dangerous to drive to the grocery store, action is needed.
