Poorly Written. Unconstitutional. LR-130 would overturn local laws that have been working for 130 years, removing our freedom to make local decisions. Please join the growing number of Montanans rejecting this unnecessary, unenforceable measure on your November ballot. “I’ve seen a lot of bad laws out of Helena. LR-130 is the worst. It’s poorly written and unconstitutional. It takes away our freedom to make local decisions. That sure doesn’t work for us. Vote NO on LR-130.” – Brud Smith, Rancher, Boulder, Montana “In Montana, we trust local citizens to decide how to keep our communities safe. As a mayor, I know LR-130 takes this freedom away. Protect our freedoms, and join me in voting NO on LR-130.” – Sandra Jones, Mayor, Roundup, Montana “I took an oath to protect my country and the 2nd amendment. LR-130 makes a mess of our gun laws. It’s poorly-written, unenforceable, and unconstitutional. Keep Montana gun laws the way they are. Vote NO on LR-130.” – Quint Nyman, Marine Corps Veteran Learn more: NoLR130.com Paid for by Vote No on LR-130, Erik Burke, Treasurer | PO Box 1622 | Helena, MT 59624 4 2020 State Voter's Guide GOVERNOR RACE Campaign for Governor Highlights Different Visions for Montana’s Future By Bella Butler “I was given a pretty darn good to rely on personal responsibility, not Bozeman-based RightNow for $1.5 bil- Community News Service Montana, and I want to make sure we government mandates,” Gianforte lion in 2011.

  • Montana: the Last, Best Place?
    CHAPTER 2 Montana: The Last, Best Place? o understand politics in Montana and the process of representation, one T does not begin with people or politicians. One begins with place, because without place the rest does not—cannot—be made to make sense. How Montanans understand themselves, their representatives, their history, and their relationship to others—including the federal government—begins and ends with place. It is also place that presents Montanans with their greatest challenges and opportuni- ties. To use Richard Fenno’s terminology, we must begin with the geographic constituency—not only as a physical space and place, but as a shared idea and experience. To understand Montana and Montanans, we must start with the land known variously as the Treasure State, Big Sky Country,distribute or perhaps the most evocative: The Last, Best Place. In this chapter, I provide the reader with a short historyor of Montana’s relation- ship to the land, its historical development, the complicated relationship it has with the federal government, and the challenges the state faces as it transitions from a resource-intensive economy to a more diverse one based upon tourism and hi-tech industries. I claim that the deep connection Montanans have with their physical surroundings shapes howpost, they view politics, the cleavages which exist among them, and the representatives they choose to represent them. Place also dictates the representational choices members of Congress make to build trust with their constituents. In particular, members of Congress are careful to cultivate a representational style known as “one of us” with their constituents.

  • Tribal Relations Report 2007 the Art of Cooperation OFFICE of the GOVERNOR STATE of MONTANA
    TRIBAL RELATIONS REPORT 2007 THE ART OF COOPERATION OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR STATE OF MONTANA BRIAN SCHWEITZER JOHN BOHLINGER GOVERNOR LT. GOVERNOR September 15, 2007 I am pleased to present the 2007 Tribal Relations Report showcasing the major accomplishments of the state fiscal year, from July 2006 to June 2007, between the State of Montana and Tribal Nations. Much has been accomplished over the course of the last fiscal year, including: • the appropriation of $1.6 million in grants for Indian economic development; • the recommendation by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council for the disbursement of $18 million in funding to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes to purchase land and conservation easements in the Flathead Basin; • the employment of nearly 600 tribal members, with over $3.4 million in wages going into reservation economies, for road construction and repair projects; • the signing of a groundbreaking Medicaid Agreement between the State and the Chippewa Cree Nation, the first of its kind in the country; • the signing of the first ever tribal-state gaming compact with the Fort Belknap Community Council, representing the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre Nations; and • the appropriation of fifteen million dollars by the State as part of the overall water rights compact settlement with the Blackfeet Nation. The State has entered a new era in its relationship with Indian Nations. It is an era based upon mutual understanding and respect for the sovereign obligations of the Tribal Nations to their peoples, and for the same obligations of the State of Montana to serve all state citizens, including those on reservations.
