The state senator from Kalispell is, by label, a Republican. But many of his recent positions could also be called populous, libertarian, or simply beset with common sense. He’s a lawmaker that opposes laws and sometimes that’s exactly what Montana needs. The most recent example is the very public fight in Whitefish over who should be allowed to display a barbershop pole. Apparently, only certified barbers can have one, not a Whitefish cosmetologist, even if she has trimmed flattops for 16 years.
