Gazette opinion: No money for Montana school buildings – again

April 30, 2017/

No amount of pleading or arm-twisting could wrest 67 votes for state and local infrastructure out of the Montana House last week. The Legislature adjourned Friday after failing to muster votes needed for $43 million in borrowing for regional water projects and $80 million in facilities projects including university and K-12 buildings and a veterans nursing home.

Senate Bill 367 fell three votes short at 9 a.m. and again at 10 a.m., as the majority of House members struggled to gain approval for the bill backed by Gov. Steve Bullock and the Montana Senate.
