The ongoing pissing match between the three branches of government provides a high form of entertainment, along with a modicum of disgust.

Rep. Barry Usher (R-Bilious) is carrying a bill to elect Supreme Court justices by district, rather than all of them statewide.

These reprobate Republican representatives each sponsored a bill to radically alter I-190, approved by the voters in November to legalize recreational marijuana. All three bills are headed to the Senate – let them figure it out!

… shipped by boilerplate to Montana from the “Special Forces of Liberty” and sponsored by, I can only guess, extremely stupid Republicans.

Rep. Greg Hertz (R-Polecat) Is trying to hurriedly pass at least two complex tax bills that would cost Montana millions.

Fitzpatrick wants to cover NW Energy’s butt with a bill to put ratepayers on the hook for the costs of Colstrip, whether it generates power or not.

In a bill to distribute funds from the American Rescue Plan, the Republicans would cut 20% from every grant to any local government with stricter COVID restrictions than the state.

Rep. Wylie Galt (R-Squashem) amended SB169 to make sure college ID won’t, by itself, allow a student to vote: “If you’re a college student in Montana and you don’t have a registration or a bank statement or a W-2, it makes me kind of wonder why you’re voting in this election anyway.”

It looks like four wolf-depredation bills are likely headed for the governor’s desk. This after Gianforte got his wrist slapped for illegally trapping and killing a collared wolf.
