Governor Bullock Releases Budget that Ensures Fiscal Responsibility, Invests in Education, Protects Healthcare, and Builds Montana’s Infrastructure

Bullock calls on 2019 Legislature to work with him to maintain a fiscally responsible budget, while preserving investments into the economy and the health and well-being of Montanans

Governor Steve Bullock today released his budget proposal for the 2021 biennium. The governor’s budget insists on fiscal responsibility through a balanced budget that leaves a meaningful reserve for a rainy day, while preserving investments made in recent years into the state’s economy and the health and well-being of Montanans. The governor’s budget also invests in education, protects healthcare and rural communities, creates jobs and builds Montana’s infrastructure.

"The budget I present today is a reflection of the values we hold as Montanans. It is a reflection of the progress we’ve made as a state these past few years and seeks to maintain and build upon that progress," said Governor Bullock "It is because of these successes that I’m optimistic that in Montana we can still be a shining example for the country of how our political system is supposed to work. We’ve demonstrated that government can work for the people of our state. Our growing economy, continuing investments in education and job creation, and thriving middle-class are proof."
