Editor,
Rep. Hertz, I was extremely disappointed that both you and your son, Rep Adam Hertz, voted against the much needed GOP sponsored Infrastructure Bill, SB 367. This is not what your constituents deserve or wanted. After passing the Senate by a 38-12 margin, the two of you ignored what 64 other House members, including all Democrats and 23 fellow Republicans worked for to help Montana communities and workers have a better chance for a job and improve infrastructure needs throughout the state. You Greg, are developing a disconcerting track record. You refused to support the Infrastructure Bill in 2015, which fell one vote short of passing, and were again among a minority in our 2017 Legislature to refuse to support SB 367. Your votes in the past two legislative sessions show a disregard for a healthy, safe and productive Montana. Locally, your vote resulted in the loss of $1,225,000 needed for maintenance of the Polson Elementary School. We can only hope that the voters in the communities that missed out on needed infrastructure projects, due to your uncompromising votes, will remember your actions in the 2018 election.
