Flurry of bills discussed at forum

Now firmly into the second half of the Legislative session, Jefferson County’s two elected representatives at the state capitol met with constituents at the third legislator forum, hosted by The Boulder Monitor and the Boulder Transition Advisory Committee, via Zoom on Sunday evening.

While Rep. Marta Bertoglio, R-Montana City, and Sen. Edith “Edie” McClafferty, D-Butte, went over a long list of bills on subjects ranging from education reform to wolf trapping, both touched on the anticipated move by the Montana Highway Patrol to the former Montana Development Center in Boulder. 

“I feel it’s going to happen,” said McClafferty.
