Each Tuesday members of the Community Leadership Team of which MOR is a part have a teleconference with the Missoula legislative delegation.
During the call on 3/3/09, Senator Wanzenreid ask us to help break the logjam regarding the Healthy Montana Kids Initiative. This initiative was passed by voters in the November election (overwhelmingly in Missoula) but the enactment of it is being held up in the House Appropriations Committee. Senator Wanzenreid feels that the Legislature has an obligation to act on the will of the voters and is urging the mobilization of the voters to put pressure on the committee to act.
The bill is in House Appropriations. Missoula representatives on the Committee are Teresa Henry and Bill Nooney. You can use the Missoula Speaks section of the website at http://www.missoularealestate.com/index.php/fuseaction/speaks.speaksForm/ID/5E43E13F
