Lawrence W. Reed Is Coming To Billings

"Not only will this event leave you feeling inspired, but it will also give you more intellectual tools to hold government accountable."

Here at Frontier, one of our main goals is to foster robust conversations about policies that rely on more freedom, not more government.

That is why I am excited to announce that we are partnering with Young Americans for Freedom at Rocky Mountain College to host nationally renowned author, passionate advocate for liberty and Frontier Institute Board member Lawrence W. Reed.

Save the date for October 19th, 2022, at Rocky Mountain College’s Great Hall.

Lawrence Reed has traveled all over the United States, as well as abroad, explaining how the pillars of any free economy are made of seven principles. Hence the event’s title – The Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy.

Not only will this event leave you feeling inspired, but it will also give you more intellectual tools to hold government accountable.

While tickets to this event are free, seating is limited. To reserve your spot click the button above. I look forward to meeting you in person!

For Liberty,
Tanner Avery

Let Healthcare Professionals Get To Work
It’s no secret that Montana has severe health care shortages –– but despite this widely acknowledged fact, there are still significant gov’t barriers standing in the way. Frontier President & CEO, Kendall Cotton explains in his latest op-ed.

The Forest Management Strategy Helping To Save Montana Forests
This fire season has been remarkably light compared to others, in part due to a forest management strategy known as active forest management, which helps make forests healthier and more resilient to catastrophic wildfires. Hannah Downey, Policy Director at the Property and Environmental Research (PERC) explains the strategy’s success in this month’s forest management column.

“With these treatments applied, the wildfires this summer lacked the fuel sources to grow big and out of control. Instead, they remained smaller and more manageable so that firefighters could more rapidly extinguish the flames and protect humans and infrastructure.”

What About Starter Homes?
In an article published this week in the New York Times, a columnist explained how the starter homes that enabled the Boomer generation to buy their first home can no longer be built, in large part due overly strict zoning laws that have raised housing costs or made them outright illegal.

Our Take: The lesson is clear here – overly strict zoning codes are preventing an entire generation from being able to own their home. By relaxing these zoning codes we can begin to add rungs back to the home ownership ladder, and enable younger generations to be able to benefit from starter homes.
