Republicans Clamor for Public Input While Shutting Down CHIP Initiative

by: Matt Singer

Wed Apr 08, 2009 at 11:36:03 AM MST


Is it just me or is it odd watching Republicans rush to demand public comment on nominations to the redistricting commission at the same time that they are ignoring a giant, legally-binding public comment that came in the form of last year's Healthy Montana Kids ballot initiative?

Look -- seek public input on your nominees or don't. I couldn't really care less because posting a comment section on your website hardly requires that you listen to or care about the comments that get made. But don't tell me you deeply value public opinion when the current thrust of your public message is that voters didn't know what they were supporting last November.
