Last few days of session bring shenanigans

4/22/2021

​   There are always shenanigans in the last few days of any session.  This is when legislators start amending otherwise fine bills with any bad idea that didn't pass on its own.
 
   HB 651 is one example. It received some terrible amendments before passing out of Senate State Admin committee. It will be voted on second reading in the Senate TODAY AT 1 p.m.
 
   The bill limits our democracy by adding all kinds of unnecessary red tape to our current ballot initiative process.  There's no reason for this--our current ballot initiative process works great. In fact, this union and our partners successfully used the ballot initiative process to pass Montana's graduated minimum wage law in 2006!
 
 Have you called your Senator lately?
