It didn't take long for the fallout to begin after Gov. Steve Bullock announced he was going to seek the Democratic nomination in Montana's U.S. Senate race.
Right now, the Montana State Legislature meets every other year for up to 90 days. Should they meet on an annual basis instead? I caught up with Senate Majority Leader Fred Thomas (R-Stevensville) for his take.
A Helena elementary schoolteacher, busted with several hardcore drugs like meth, heroin, and LSD in his possession is getting off easy with merely a deferred sentence. And this isn't just any schoolteacher- he's the husband of the statewide Democrat candidate for superintendent of public instruction in Montana.
That's because of the demand and documentation needed for the new REAL ID-compliant licenses that will be required to board domestic flights by next October.
I mean, it's a big enough story that an elementary teacher got busted with those kinds of drugs to begin with. But then you add the fact that the teacher in question is married to a statewide Democrat party candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Donald Trump, Jr. is coming back to Montana later this week, according to sources I spoke with inside the gubernatorial campaign of Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-MT). The president's son is planning a hunting trip in state along with attending a fundraiser in support of Gianforte's gubernatorial bid.
