Editor,
Janna Taylor has been a representative in the state legislature since 2005, but just who she was representing all those years? Check her voting record.
Janna has abandoned our veterans by voting against the construction of the Southwest Montana Veteran’s Home in Butte (HB 296). She voted against out-of-state corporations paying their fair share of taxes (HB 2-8). But, voted to raise taxes on small businesses providing health insurance to their employees (HB 612).
She voted to cut the Healthy Montana Kids program (HB 2-45), and prescription drug assistance for seniors (HB 2). She voted to raise tuition on Montana students (HB 2-053), to put public money into charter schools (HB 603), and voted against funding for special education (HB 2-056) and the Montana School for the Deaf and Blind (HB 2-061). She also opposed heating assistance for 12,600 low-income families (HB 2-21), and approved insurance coverage discrimination based on gender (HB 283).
Janna supports government-mandated ultrasounds before abortion (HB 280) and government-mandated counseling before divorce (HB 438). Is this the Republican idea of “less invasive government”?
Finally, Janna doesn’t have the common sense to represent Montanans. She supported Montana’s secession from the USA (HJ 14). She stated, at the Masumola forum on Oct. 10, that the Montana Department of Revenue flies over our homes to appraise them. And, finally, she admitted to being totally unprepared when she testified before of the State Judiciary Committee on Feb. 8, 2011. She spoke against abolishing the death penalty in Montana (SB 185) by speaking of the danger of lethal spitballs in prisons.
Janna certainly doesn’t represent Montana values and we, as Montanans and residents of Lake and Flathead Counties, deserve better.
