Rep. Denny Rehberg on Wednesday sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius following her visit to Montana to discuss the health care legislation that was signed into law earlier this year. Polls at the time of passage indicated that Montanans strongly opposed the measure, and recent reports indicate that time has not improved the bill’s popularity. Rehberg has sponsored legislation to repeal the bill.

Missoula MT. 8/23 6:00 p.m. – Firefighters today completed a burnout on the north perimeter of the Alder Creek Fire to establish a secure line on that end of the fire. The operation was supported by heavy helicopter water drops prior to the burnout to prevent fire spread beyond the line.
According to the incident commander of the fire, the burnout ignition started slowly early in the day but as burning conditions improved, the operation achieved all of its objectives. Smoke from the burnout and burning of other pockets of fuel to the southeast of the fire was visible from Stevensville.
