Secession
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

Fine.  Let both areas secede from Missoula County.  Both are poor, backward, remote areas that do in fact receive more services from the county than they pay in the way of taxes.  By all means, let them finance their own public services, police and fire protection, snow plowing, road repair, emergency medical services, welfare and other services to the poor.  Be our guests and good luck finding the money to pay for it all.
