THANK GOD!!!!!!! Somethings are a blessing in disguise.



The Democrats are glad that they got healthcare to the poor working Montana's. Republicans see the passage of a state budget that held the line on state spending as a major achievement.

According to the second article major bills that passed were were, medicaid health coverage to thousands of low-income Montana's, ratification of the Flathead tribal water-rights compact, and a landmark campaign-finance bill to crack down on and require public reporting of "dark" money. Republicans leaders were pleased that they held the state budget to increases of just 3% this year, and passed an increase in state funding for public schools with no controversy. They also approved expansions of community-based mental health programs.
While I think it is important for people to get the help they need I also don't think it is right when people buck the system. There are always people that are going to buck the system though. I believe that if you are on medicaid and can't afford healthcare and the different things people were saying they couldn't afford that they need to look at what they are spending their money on. If you can't afford food then probably don't get a smart phone. Those are expensive. If you can't afford your medicine don't color your hair. Rather than making other tax payers give you more money be smart about the money that they are already giving you. I do understand that some people just need help. It is just the way that it is.

I'm not sure where it ended up but I that they would have increased speed limits. The autobond in Germany is one of the safest road ways in the world. There is no speed limit but people don't sit there and and text and all of that. They sit up and drive. I believe that this would help people drive safer. And really who doesn't like to drive fast.

Well all of the my bills died except for the the drug testing one. The drug testing for welfare passed.


 As a high school student I was not worried about the important things. I was not really worried about what was going on in Helena either. Therefore I don't believe that I included this in my past posts. As an overall grade for the legislature I would give them a C+. I think they wasted a lot of time fighting over things that don't really make or break out state. Things like what they are required to wear an when. This really does not make a big difference. Also leggins. Yes they are the new thing that is currently out. Let it go. the less of a big deal you make out of it the less of a problem you will have with it. Making a big deal out of makes people want to make it just that much more of a problem.

I think that overall the can have a B-. They all are there and all should be working together with all of the people. Including the other branches. They did get a good amount of stuff passsed but because they were fighting over things like the dress code they had to go longer than they needed to,

The 65th legislature should increase speed limits. Make college more affordable, And create more jobs. Also don't spend so much time fighting. There are other ways to figure things out.
