Rs have fully run the Montana Legislature since 2011 and now they blame the Ds. LOL #mtpol

By upholding Governor Greg Gianforte veto of bill to use marijuana money to fix rural roads, improve wildlife and help vets, @mtgop have raised your taxes yet again.

Democrats are working to address one of Montana’s biggest challenges – affordable child care – but Republicans shoot down their solutions every time. It’s almost as if they want this state to only be liveable for the ultrawealthy. #mtpol

“Republican legislators are desperately trying to duck accountability for failing to reduce Montanans’ property taxes while giving breaks to the wealthy and big corporations.” - Dems. Freedom Caucus wants special sesh. Blair Miller: dailymontanan.com/2023/11/27/mon… #mtnews #mtpol #mtleg

Focus on “all excess revenue” is shortsighted. Property tax is what constituents are unhappy with the @Mtgop about. Fix your mistake about property tax don’t worsen it. #mtleg

Republican Matt Rosendale proposed cutting $717 million from the US Dept of Agriculture.

Montana residents: If you have not done so already, please call the office ASAP! Thank you.

Legislature willing to increase property tax assistance for veterans but non-veterans quickly brushed off. Assistance for non-vets limited to those with incomes 30-40k LESS. Very imbalanced. System needs fixing. #mtpol

Sen president holding multiple bills, against the rules they set up. Awful for seniors well being. Your idea or the Governor’s, Senator? Terrible idea, seniors a victim. #mtpol #mtleg

House Minority Leader Kim Abbott sent the following letter to MT Gov. Greg Gianforte regarding his administration's proposal to amend HB 419, the TikTok ban, almost identically to Rep. Katie Sullivan's amendment killed by House Republicans recently #mtpol #mtleg

I agree @Howell4HD95! Montana is big enough for all of us! Well said. I have been so impressed with many of the comments you have stated on the floor and in committee this year. Thank you for your words.
