As Montana’s Democratic governor prepares to submit a budget to the Legislature, he is proposing small cuts to the Montana Highway Patrol, including a proposal to lay off 27 troopers.
The troopers are clearly unnecessary. Montana’s roadways are safer than ever, and Montana vehicles are traveling more miles more safely than ever before.
Now the State’s Republican leadership–who endlessly campaign (and get elected) upon promises to “limit government”–are seeking to block the cuts.
