“Bonding Bill” Gets House Approval

Today, Rep. Galen Hollenbaugh’s “bonding bill” was passed by the House of Representatives today.

In a time that Republicans call every one of their destructive policies a “jobs bill,” this bonding bill is one of the few actual jobs bills.

This bill allows Montanans to invest in the future of the state. It would give communities the opportunities to build new education facilities throughout the state. This will provide the state with a world-class education system that allows us to be competitive in global marketplace. As we know, the majority of jobs in Montana will require a quality post-secondary education within the next 10 years.

In addition, this bill also puts Montanans to work immediately. This bill will provide local construction and technology jobs in our communities. This will provide a much needed jolt to our local economies.

The bill received overwhelming bipartisan support. It now goes to the Senate for their approval.
