SB97 and Why Elections Matter

So many people are extremely upset about Gov. Steve Bullock’ veto of Sen. Keith Regier’s SB97 “Prohibit Application of Foreign Laws in Montana Courts.”

How can he veto a bill that passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives? Well, he can because he is the governor of Montana. If all the Montanans who voted for President Donald Trump would have voted for Greg Gianforte, we would have had Gov. Gianforte and SB97 would now have been signed into Montana law.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is another example of, “Why Elections Matter and Have Consequences”.

Please think about this when you vote in the upcoming special election May 25.
