For The Love Of Montana
ByToday, Montanans from across the state descended on the Capitol to talk about the importance of a clean environment. Superintendent Denise Juneau joined them to talk about the impacts of these GOP choices.
For nearly 45 days, we’ve watched the GOP attempt to gut longstanding environmental protections in the state. We’ve also witnessed as they have introduced legislation that seeks to kill jobs in the renewable energy section. These decisions would be devastating to our rivers, lakes, streams and economy.
They have:
- Embraced global warming
- Sought to amend the “Clean and Healthful Environment” clause of the Montana Constitution
- Killed proposals to increase renewable energy jobs in the state
This is only a few of the proposals they have pursued (or opposed). Rather than focusing on creating jobs and making Montana a better place to live, they followed an agenda that does neither, in fact it would kill jobs and ruin our hunting, fishing and recreating areas.

"We want to build a budget that is both responsible and responsive to the needs of Montanans. This includes a great education for our children, beefing up state and local infrastructure, shoring up salaries and pensions for public workers, and making real progress on access to affordable health care for our families and our businesses.” —Rep. Chuck Hunter, Helena
