We need more guys like Don 'K'

Perhaps starstruck by his days in front of the camera filming the “Don’t you buy no ugly truck!” commercials, Don “K” Kaltschmidt has for decades been a top-level supporter of the performing arts in the Flathead.

He is also clearly a level-headed, good-hearted problem solver with the rare knack of getting along with all stripes, left and right, up and down. Now he’s running for state Senate.

Government could sure use more folks like him.
