The Montana Legislative session ended two months ago, but two Ravalli County lawmakers still have a lot to say about their freshman session in Helena. Rep. Ron Ehli, R-Hamilton, and Pat Connell, R-Hamilton, were the featured speakers at the monthly meeting of the Ravalli County Republican Women in Hamilton on Tuesday.
Ehli used his time to speak about his work on the state budget. During his campaign, he said, his mantra was to reduce state government.
Ehli said that while he would have liked to have seen the budget cut by more than the legislatively-approved 6 percent, the reduction was a step in the right direction.
