House Bill 770, the bill to legalize recreational marijuana in Montana, was heard before the House Taxation Committee early Thursday morning, sponsored by Missoula legislator Tom Winter.

Missoula mayoral candidate Lisa Triepke violated Montana’s campaign laws by filing incomplete and inaccurate campaign finance reports.

The partisan wrangling over Senate Bill 305 continued today as the House Judiciary Committee voted to table the bill after efforts to force the bill through as the meeting was coming to a close.
