“What’s up in Montana??”
On first look this vote looks bad...
BUT, our state Legislature is very strongly Republican so they referred this to the people. It should have passed, Mrs BBB333 and I both voted for it.
In all actuality a born alive infant will be given medical treatment. Period. We are NOT animals in this state.
The Legislature tried to do the right thing...They meet in January for three months and will likely just pass this as a law and our Governor will sign it into law — bypassing the people.
We do NOT have a professional legislature. They meet for three months every two years and receive a pittance for their work (plus a per diem) only while they are in session. They are good folks.
Montana has a $1,000,000,000+ Coal Tax Trust Fund...it’s a nice place, just a bit cold this AM -4 F in town...
Just a bit.

I have grown tired of people, and if the better half would allow it, I'd retire somplace between Iowa and Idaho in some reasonably pretty but remote spot, and consider the tradeoff between low temperatures and low-lifes a bargain.

Congress once operated like this...AND, they lived in hellish boarding houses while in session. They could not wait to get back to their districts, the homes, their farms, their shops.
It would be great if we returned to that system.
