I am sorry for the delay of not updating the site recently, but I was hoping that things may turn around and the many different organizations that are here to Helena once again have let me down. With a few new sites up and running the limited information for residents and visitors alike well is boring.
The Phillips Chamber of Commerce website is still for most parts "Under Construction" with out dated data and no data at all.

Addressing issues across towns throughout America, people come into town and claim they are helping to improve and change life in small town USA. Claiming to have given up a large salary and their way of living in the name of the cause of helping the good of helping others. We are told we must respect them for their dedication and for all they do for the community. When I ask what have they done for the community a very limited answer is provided. Only thing I have seen are those few investors who are seeping the reward of grant resources and using it as their own to profit for themselves. How is this helping the community? A few and powerful control the venues around town while the remainder of the community struggles. I was taught one must prove themselves before they can be fully trusted. By gaining the trust of the community they then place themselves in power. Taking the resources that should supply a community with enough money and support to bring a town back to life but they instead pay themselves salaries more than sufficient to survive and invest in their own future. Having no financial ties to community they take their profits and reputations and move onto the next victim (town/community).
It is time for small town USA and all of America to wake up and take back control of their communities. Request a transparent government in which makes itself open to the community to discuss all issues that effect each and every community member. I respect the fact it is hard to get all parties to agree but an open discussion will lead the way for towns to take back control of their community and allowing them to have financial independence without relying on grant money and resources to fund their projects. Grant money is to help bridge projects together not finance the town operating accounts.
