Montana Committee Appointments Online

Well, committee assignments are up on the legislature's website. And the difference between the hyper-partisan Republican leadership in the House and the willing-to-work-across-the-aisle atmosphere of Democratic leadership in the Senate couldn't be clearer.

The House is split 51-49, but the Education Committee, for example is split 9-6. In other words, Dems make up 49% of the chamber, but only 40% of the committee.

The Senate is split 26-24. The committees I checked, the Dems had a single seat margin over Republicans.

Now, the Democrats could easily have been as rabidly partisan in the Senate as the GOP was in the Senate. They didn't and never was it even discussed from what I can tell.

Look closer (0.00 / 0)
Look closer.  While the numbers on the committees will be subject of discussion and debate, the real tell is in the makeup of the committees.  Whos in, Whos out, etc.
