I’m an active member of multiple.

Have you asked them to speak against this?

Love it or hate it, representatives have to work with each other through the entire session. There’s a multitude of bills and at times they will be united in support or opposition and at times they’ll find themselves on different sides of supporting or opposing certain bills. They’re colleagues and if one party or the other gets a reputation for revealing conversations about the process then his colleagues are probably not going to view him or her as someone they can trust to not use their conversations against them for personal advantage.

Best response. Great method to share so we understand the setting vs demean a legitimate query.

Comments sent. Somehow I think this will be the first of many…

Sent 3 already myself, and waiting for a likely 4th work related issue to comment on

Too often it ends up as “I supported that bad bill so he would support my bad bill.” The lack of transparency is a large part of what fuels the skepticism. On the positive, it is good to see compromise still exists, even if no one has a D next to their name.

The Legislature has a new website this session. Included in this is a new way to send messages. You have to create an account but it's super easy & then you can send messages to the entire committee, register to comment remotely and submit documents if you have any. Please consider being a part of the the process and help advocate for wildlife:

Legislative Public Participation

The Legislative Public Participation app allows citizens to get involved in the legislative process. It makes it easy for anyone to communicate with lawmakers, testify in legislative hearings, and submit written testimony for bills and committees.

Montana Resident only deal I assume?

Give it a try. You have to input your address, not sure what it does for a non resident.

If you try it let us know what happens.
