The wild and petty Montana Senate votes on the
Northwestern bailout and precinct committee reform bills

Intra-party warfare among Republicans broke out on the floor of the MT Senate today in a lowdown comedy of petty blackmail, political punishment, and dazzling displays of disreputable vote switching.

Leia Larsen has the details at the Montana Free Press. Below, I have a table showing how each state senator voted on SB-331 (four votes) and HB-318 (two votes today, plus Wednesday’s blast vote). The table is a graphic presentation of a downloadable spreadsheet.
