One of unforeseen consequences of the Biden administration’s open border policy is that states don’t have appropriate laws on the books to help manage a large influx of aliens in the country illegally. What has been done around the country and what can Montana do?

Click on the podcast as Montana Speaker of the House, Matt Regier, and Majority Leader Sue Vinton discuss some practical solutions they would be considering if the Montana Legislature approves the call for a special session for June 24. The agenda would also include work on a bill to redistribute marijuana taxes that found previous broad support among lawmakers, but was left undone after the governor’s veto and an untimely close to the Senate session.

    Please consider appropriating some of the marijuana tax to K-12 Public Schools, many of which are dismally underfunded! Average Montanans can’t afford the ever increasing property taxes, especially those on fixed incomes/elderly/working poor. Our teachers are so underpaid, compared to the rest of the country, their insurance is pitiful, and ever more responsibilities are. continuously dumped on them. Costs of living are high here, and teachers deserve a living wage. Perhaps an acquisition price assessment should be used for property taxes, so that all of the wealthy out of staters driving up housing costs and property “values”, are paying more for the increased needs of communities- from police, firemen, medical care…, to education costs, infrastructure expansion expenses, jails, housing, and cost of living; and native Montanans can afford to continue to live here? We do not need more conservation areas, or public lands unable to be utilized for their natural, sustainable resources, which generate revenues and decent paying jobs! Public lands that generate nothing, still cost money to maintain and manage. Our state needs all of the revenue it can generate from natural resources. Tourists only benefit certain areas of the state. Eastern MT needs to be considered, and able to generate revenues too.
    As for illegals, I pray that laws can be passed so they are deported if they come here! Please take care of MT citizens
