  • From the Desk of Jim Brown, Public Affairs Week One of The
    From the desk of Jim Brown, Public Affairs Week one of the Legislature is in the books and there have been some developments. To wit: 1. The Governor made nominations for the positions of head of FWP and Department of Agriculture; a) For FWP, the Governor nominated University of Montana law professor Martha Williams. Based on Williams’ long environmental record, she is not going to be friendly to landowners, and may be the worst director yet for our interests. b) For Dept. of AG, the Governor nominated Ben Thomas, a former U.S. Department of Agriculture employee and a former Baucus staffer. The other ag groups seem to think he will be an adequate director. The story is linked here: http://missoulian.com/news/government-and-politics/gov-bullock-announces-more-cabinet- appointments/article_887184c3-a107-5f12-a800-a36831ba6498.html 2. MWGA’s livestock loss bill is up for hearing this coming week. As you will recall, in the 2013 legislative session, MWGA secured general fund monies to fund the livestock loss board. Prior to our efforts, the livestock loss board was struggling financially, relying primarily on grants to carry out its mission. However, the authorization for the funding expires as of June 30, 2017. It’s hard to believe that four years have passed, and it is time for MWGA to work to renew this important source of funding. But, that is where we are. Our bill, SB 73, will be heard in the Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday at 3:00PM. I am optimistic that it will make it through the Legislature; whether it makes it across the Governor’s desk is another matter.

  • 2021 Voting Record
    The 2021 Legislative Session Montana's biennial legislative session is always a top MFPE priority because decisions made there profoundly affect members' pocketbooks and professions. The 67th session was unique due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and a single political party controlling both the legislative and executive branches, but MFPE members were undaunted. Nearly 3,000 MFPE members and staff joined the first-ever Rapid Response Team of member-lobbyists. They attended statewide virtual meetings throughout the session and sent tens of thousands of messages to legislators via texts, emails, and phone calls. These efforts were crucial in asserting MFPE's strength and reach. Because MFPE members engaged like never before, we successfully beat back five union-busting bills all directed at undermining the ability of Montana workers to belong to and participate in a union. Our collective efforts also secured several legislative victories including the quick and bipartisan approval of the state and university employee pay plan and funding for public education and services, state agencies, the Montana University System, and Community Colleges. Through the Rapid Response Team, MFPE members successfully advocated for bills to stabilize the Sheriff and Highway Patrol pensions and fought to defeat an assortment of bills that would have destroyed the Teachers’ and Public Employees’ Retirement Systems. MFPE members and staff mobilized to defeat a parade of bad ideas: a private charter school bill; private school vouchers to divert money from public schools to private schools; voter suppression; and bad tax policies that defund public services while giving tax breaks to the ultrawealthy. Despite our best efforts, some bills with harmful consequences for MFPE members became law.

The League tracked and actively lobbied more than 150 bills that affected Montana municipalities. In last few weeks of the legislative session, there were multiple attempts to raid entitlement share payments and shift other costs to cities and towns that would have resulted in cuts to local general fund revenues.
