Frivilous Spending

| March 5, 2011 12:01 PM

On Wednesday night Governor Schweitzer was on the KECI 10:00pm news bashing “frivolous” legislation - he used spear hunting, allowing children to have firearms INSIDE (my emphasis) in schools, and the multitude of nullification bills as examples of such.  He stated, “These frivolous pieces of legislation have cost the taxpayers of Montana $2,000,000.00.”

I was astounded that he could site such a precise figure considering he doesn’t know how many vehicles belong to the State; which would include the brand new Prius with the MT DOT magnet on the side and state plates on it that was parked outside Lucky Lil’s in Plains that morning.

Who is being frivolous with our money?
