Representative Frosty Calf Boss Ribs Fights For Students
ByHB 305 by Representative Frosty Calf Boss Ribs (D) reinstate’s federal funding to the economically and educationally disadvantaged students of Montana by rescinding a current law that requires federal funding to pay county school retirement system instead of money paid by the county. HB 305 also gives local board’s control to determine how to disperse the money.
HB 305 will be heard in House Appropriations.
"I think that it’s going to all work out, with the changes that we have agreed to. It’s not as much (spending for some programs) as I would’ve hoped, but apparently it’s more than other people wanted. As usual, we are trying to find the middle.” 
"[On term limits:] You empower the executive, you empower the lobbyists and that's not good for the system because then we lose what the citizen Legislature brings.”
