With 1417 total pieces of legislation in both House and Senate being introduced in Helena this Legislative Session, it is hard not to notice how large government is growing. As a matter of fact, the Montana Legislature website reports 373 pieces of legislation were introduced under the “Government Structure and Administration” title and 172 were introduced under the “Local Government” title.
But government isn’t the only entity gaining momentum during recent legislative sessions. So are lobbyist groups, which are self-appointed boards whose members are mostly comprised of your Elected Officials.
Think of the irony of this practice.
