Montanaâs response to the COVID pandemic has put our stateâs public health system in the spotlight, as well as into the crosshairs.
Through numerous bills this session, members of the Montana Legislature have sought to attack our stateâs public health system and insert politics and bureaucracy into the process of making decisions that keep our communities safe and healthy.
However, a new poll indicates that these efforts by legislators are driven more by special interests and ideology than by what Montana voters actually want. In fact, when it comes to making decisions regarding health concerns, Montana voters trust health officials more than politicians by a margin of more than 4 to 1.
