Congrats! Somebody has to win! Glad we got an HTer with a sheep tag for some stories. This MSG thread is the best on the interwebs, but it's dependent on content. <hint><hint>
This is the question. It has an appropriation that was set with HB701 in 2021. There were multiple bills that tried to undo 701 including this bill until it was amended. Since none of the bills became law, the thought (at least mine and Shaafs) is that HB701 remains in tact and thus keeps the...
@Ben Lamb This is not how I thought it would go. I didn't realize that the Senate would adjourn and not have the chance to override the veto. Two things....a) I thought there's a provision for voting remote....does that not apply post sine die? b) if the bill dies, then I would think there...
I just read his veto. He makes two points 1) the bill is missing an appropriation so it's unfunded which makes it useless. 2) basically "I don't like that this circumvents the General Fund"
Wow.....so basically he's saying that every legislator who voted for this bill doesn't know what...
Thanks. That makes more sense. I guess I fell victim to an article that simply said HB2 had passed with dems upset that it happened so abruptly. At the time, I thought how could that happen, but since it hasn't happened fully, I'll just go back to my work now.
@Ben Lamb Curious...since the budget was pushed through in rapid fashion like 45 days go, does any of that have to be revisited if GG signs SB442? It's not a ton of money going to Habitat Montana, but I got the impression that GG was allocating this marijuana money in other places.
Coming at this from an insurance perspective. Hopefully you received proper medical care for your wounds. That ER bill should be submitted to your neighbors home insurance company as a claim against their personal liability coverage. That claim will trigger a policy review upon renewal. The...
There are some subcurrents around the Flathead about how GG hasn't been good for Montana. With the Rs dominating both houses, there's very little risk in voting in a D....in fact there's some upside because the potential veto threat could bring a modicum of balance to Helena.
If I'm being completely honest, I kinda hope that he vetoes it. I'd like to think it would severely compromise his re-election efforts. Could be a win/win if the veto then gets overturned.
There's been so much upgrading with 5G (requires infilling) that at this point it's a toss up. Feel free to PM if you need some insurance advice. I know some people that know some people.
Hey @Ben Lamb .....don't want to get too far down the road, but thinking GG vetoing SB442 is a real possibility. Where do we sit with HB669? A veto on 442 could come quick, paving the way for passage of HB669 which defunds Habitat MT. All of that seems politically risky for a first term...
Its going to take someone with a set of brass cajones to go against this grain in favor of the deer. Given the FWP director is an appointed yes man, its going to require a governor who has a different vision for our wildlife than the person we have now.
