Bullock’s Bakken aid proposal needs approval from Legislature

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock has a $45-million plan to help communities overwhelmed by the oil boom, but it will take significant buy-in from legislators who rejected a similar plan in 2013.

"What we’re putting together is what we’re calling the Eastern Montana Impacting Infrastructure Project," Bullock told a small gathering in Billings. "It really builds on what’s happened in the past, but also takes some good ideas from folks we’ve heard from on the ground."
