That “Montana Local Food Choice Act” is out of committee in its second house, showing all the signs of a bill that will cross the finish line. The Montana Legislature plans to adjourn by April 28.

Senate Bill (SB) 199 passed the Montana Senate, 31-18, and has since cleared the House Human Services Committee. Any House amendments are due by April 16, so there is time for the Senate to consider them.

It was a grill, or, more precisely, it was our mangal.

Unlike celebrated icons of American grilling like Weber or Big Green Egg, with their sleek lines, the Russian mangal looks more like a crudely welded steel box. It is a utilitarian tool; aesthetic flourishes — a baroque twisted-iron leg here, an engraving along a … Read more

.Federal Judge Joan N. Ericksen last October held a 64-minute video hearing and then took the line speed case under advisement. Five months later, she has published a 68-page ruling to resume the speed limits on hog slaughter inspection lines.

Specific details of the order for the union Plaintiffs led by the United Food and Commercial Workers and Defendant USDA included these elements:
