n informed people is the basis of, and a necessity for, successful democratic government. The people of the United States are entitled to hear all sides to a question whether it be political, economic, social, racial or religious. -- Burton K. Wheeler

The Burton K. Wheeler Center for Public Policy in Bozeman, MT, promotes the discussion, analysis and eventual resolution of critical issues facing Montana and the region. The Center holds two conferences annually, sponsors research and lectures, publishes conference reports and maintains this Web page for Montanans and others who are seeking solutions to some of today's most pressing issues and problems.

The Center is located at 1102 South 6th Avenue, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717. We welcome your comments and suggestions regarding our activities and conference topics. Please visit us or contact us.

Please see our Conferences and Events pages to view the excellent summary of the Medical Marijuana conference provided by conference moderator Lee Banville.  The document provides a faithful desciption of the various perspectives provided by the speakers at the Wheeler Fall Conference in Helena, and superbly outlines the major tenets of this important policy issue.  No doubt, the 2013 Legislature will be taking another look at the topic and we envision there will be several bills presented, in addition to various state and national court cases pending.  

As always, thanks to those of you who have, with your generous donations, allowed us to continue our work into 2012.  As a 100% privately funded non-profit organization, the Center depends on you to continue bringing critical state issues into the public arena for discussion and resolution. Donations of any amount are always appreciated and carefully used to support our statewide events and programs. Online donations can be made today via the tab above!!
