Dear Editor, Thank you to the supporters and donors to the Lien for Montana citizen campaign for the Jefferson County district in the Montana House of Representatives.

Dear Editor, It is disappointing, but not surprising, that the Republican supermajority in the Montana Legislature failed to override the Governor's veto of SB442, which would have distributed a portion of marijuana revenue for county infrastructure.
