Big day in the Senate. ‘Permit To Purchase’ is first on the Agenda. It will pass. Whether we have the marathon debate, or whether the opponents hold their, pardon the expression, fire, for the House, remains to be seen.

Montana Legislator Barred For Being Transgender.

Since not much happened yesterday, now’s a good time to ask the question that has been hanging over the General Assembly since January: Whither goeth Speaker Pete and the House Democratic Caucus?
