Chair Greg Hertz, a Republican senator from Polson, read questions into the record on Monday as the Select Committee on Judicial Transparency and Accountability got underway on its investigation into alleged misuse of state email accounts in the judicial branch, but no one was there to answer back. The committee formed last week issued a subpoena for Montana Supreme Court Administrator Beth McLaughlin to appear at 9 a.m. Monday morning to answer questions about internal polling on pending legislation uncovered in a recent court challenge to a new law. Republicans have raised several concerns since finding out that McLaughlin deleted the results of that internal polling.
