That much partisanship on BOTH sides shows a serious lack of statesmanship and also demonstrates political party loyalty is prioritized over the interests of the people of Montana.
ReplyDeleteWe send these people to do our business in Helena, not to be cheerleaders for their red or blue team.
I noticed when reading the score card that most Democrats were given a failing grade when it came to promoting industry in Montana. No matter how much bad press our local representatives received by the perverse news media during this last session it is evident they did vote to support our local businesses. Thanks Rep Hansen, Warburton and Senator Hutton
ReplyDeleteI wonder of the HDN will dare do a positive story about these three representatives? Probably not as that would ruin their trash ‘em 100% of the time reporting record
All of them are just as bad as the Havre City Council.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how the liberal press portrayed this last session the fact remains that the Democrats only advanced job killing legislation which expanded extreme regulations. I will have to continue to vote for the Republicans even though they got caught up in cowboy ethic nonsense and other social stupidity.
ReplyDeleteThey were the only ones that actually tried to make Montana business friendly
