Aych-Bee Too-Too-Ate: Bastardized Version of HB 228 clears the Senate
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009After being sent to a super-sweet Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, Krayton Kerns’ HB 228 has passed 2nd reading in the Senate by a 40 to 10 vote…oh yeah, that super-sweet subcommittee completely decimated an awesome piece of legislation.
Don’t take my word for it, the action of a 50-50 split House speaks for itself: it passed on […]
HB 531 passed 2nd reading in the Senate…but wait, there’s more!
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009The Red Light Camera Banning Bill made it’s way out of the Senate today with a vote of 37-13, BUT it’s been amended:
NEW SECTION. SECTION 3. SAVING CLAUSE. [THIS ACT] DOES NOT AFFECT ANY CONTRACTS THAT WERE ENTERED INTO BEFORE OR ARE RENEWED AFTER [THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ACT] […]

Video: Jon Stewart has the audacity to disagree with Obama…
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009First he railed on Rick Santelli & CNBC, then he went after Jim Cramer…now he takes on President Obama’s plan to force wounded veterans to use private insurance to pay for service related injuries. And here I am under the impression that The One can do no wrong…weird.
I wonder if Stewart’s gonna be called […]

Governor Schweitzer and the Senate begin deliberations on Stimulus money spending.

The White House Office of Management & Budget (OMB): Guidance to Agencies on Definition of Earmarks

House Bill 253–Episode II: A RINO does what’s he’s supposed to, thus, Mike Phillips is not a happy camper…
Thursday, February 5th, 2009HB 253 has been killed in committee with a vote of 10-8. Despite what was expected Ted Washburn wandered back to the correct side of the aisle plus one Democrat voted it down.
Don’t feel bad for Mike, I’m sure he’ll have two more sessions to try to push this legislation through…just like his bill […]
