AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoMontana Elections: With Election Day days away, 34% of registered voters had returned ballots by Friday—matching the pace of the 2022 midterm but trailing 2024. Yellowstone County officials say ballots undergo signature checks and repeated audits before counting. A recent poll shows competitive federal races, including a four-point lead for Republican Kurt Alme over independent Seth Bodnar in the Senate contest. Wildlife Oversight: Helena organizers say short notice and limited chances to comment at recent Fish and Wildlife Commission meetings left the public at a disadvantage. Separately, wardens say a two-year McCone County investigation led to 89 charges against 13 people, nearly $37,000 in fines and the seizure or surrender of more than 100 wildlife mounts and trophies. Helena: Gates were stolen from the historic Home of Peace Cemetery, established in 1867; the cemetery board has reported the theft to police. County Finances: A commissioner warned that reserves are just 6.8% of prior-year spending, as tourism and visitor-related services strain the county budget. Senate candidates offered ideas for increasing county revenue, including sharing state lodging-tax proceeds with gateway communities.
