Editor,
Obviously the Democrat calling Representative Reksten “Rubberstamp Reksten” has never reviewed the house votes. As a former member of the Montana House and Senate, I can attest that all Democrats rubberstamp. In fact, I was so shocked when first elected that I would attend Democrat caucuses, often led by then Governor Schweitzer. Representatives were told how to vote on the day’s agenda. Republican leadership would try the same, but we tend to be independent and our votes were all over the board. For example: check the votes on House Bill 2, the state budget bill, for any of the last 17 years. Democrats lockstep, Republicans do not. So Joe, do a little research before you start calling names.
