Choose to truly drain the swamp

| September 12, 2024 12:00 AM

There seems to be a common theme running for office in Montana: corrupt GOP politicians.

Let’s start with the most obvious, Rep. Ryan Zinke, he was let go from the Trump administration for “misappropriation” of public funds for personal use. Let’s reiterate: Ryan Zinke resigned after he was accused of stealing public money and using it for his own benefit. That’s the proverbial swamp, the epitome of corruption.

Moving on to our next swamp monster running for public office on the GOP ticket, Tim Sheehy, who also “misappropriated” public funds. Gallatin County gave a $160 million bond to Bridger Aerospace to purchase airplanes and build more airplane hangars. Instead, Tim Sheehy used $134 million dollars to pay off investors in his business. Once again public funds are used for personal benefit.
