Governor Bullock vetoes 14 percent pay raise for Montana legislators
February 3, 2017 /
HELENA – Gov. Steve Bullock has vetoed the first bill of the Montana legislative session: House Bill 1, which would have increased legislators’ pay by 14 percent for the next legislative session.
Bullock vetoed the bill Thursday with an amendment to increase pay only by 1.4 percent to coincide with the rate of inflation.
He said the state needs to "live within its means."
