The Government We Deserve

It’s been a doozy of a run in Montana politics lately

It’s been a doozy of a run in Montana politics lately, which has put Big Sky Country in a cringe-worthy light on the national stage once again.

First, there was the “yoga pants should be illegal” debacle, thanks to state Rep. David Moore.

Then there was state Rep. Art Wittich deciding that winning the election to represent his Bozeman district counted more than the in-person testimony of dozens of Montanans on the life-and-death issue of Medicaid.

Finally, U.S. Sen. Steve Daines signed an open letter to Iran’s leaders that clearly violates international law and the Logan Act with the bonus of giving the dangerous impression that some of our lawmakers don’t have their act together. And Iran wasn’t shy about pointing that out.

I guess we get the government we deserve.
