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), accuse 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.

“Welcome to Montana…now leave”

On a serious note, it is very difficult to challenge the powerful Montana Tavern Association lobby. 
That is a sad state of affairs, even though it is very real.

Since the legislature and judges continue to treat drunk driver’s with kid gloves, the
welcome mat might say:

“Welcome to Montana…the Drunk Driver State”

I cannot begin to tell you how angry I get to frequently read of DUI offenders on their 4th,
5th….9th offense.  It’s positively disgusting.

Any time gov’t gets involved with fiddling around with business, things get screwed-up.

Where does the state legislature get the notion that they should even be in the game of limiting
private business growth ?
This proposal is nothing but an expansion of gov’t power that will hinder our state and the vision to
promote private small business growth.
Let the micro brews and any other private business do their own thing and the consumers, the
people, will decide what business’ survive and which die.

@NPDXReporter I think I'll start strategically calling it "pre-lunch" too, and then "forget" to eat my real lunch later. #dessertforlunch
