At tonight’s candidate’s forum at Miles Community College, ask Ken Holmlund why in the last legislative session, he didn’t want to try again to revive the failed infrastructure bill that would have created jobs and boosted our state and local economies.
I’m referring to the failed infrastructure bill – SB 416. Ken Holmlund says he voted for the infrastructure repair bill in the House (SB 416). That true. However, the infrastructure bill, which had been passed by the Republican Senate, failed by just one vote in the House.
What Ken Holmlund doesn’t tell you (in his political advertisements in the local newspaper) is that he then voted ‘no’ on the two motions that would have revived the infrastructure bill, so that the House could again debate the issue and try to pass the bill.
Infrastructure projects as defined in that bill would have funded projects across the State of Montana: drinking water systems; wastewater treatment; sanitary sewer or storm sewer systems; solid waste disposal and separation systems, including site acquisition, preparation, and monitoring and local roads or bridges.
It would have meant (for the last two years) lots of jobs statewide for contractors, engineers, laborers, and more money would have been circulating in local economies statewide.
So, tonight ask Ken Holmlund why he didn’t want to try again to revive a bill that would have repaired infrastructure statewide and would have created jobs and boosted our state and local economies.
