Gianforte Fails Working Montanans

During the 2025 Montana legislative session, Governor Greg Gianforte vetoed nearly 30 bipartisan bills aimed at improving government transparency and support for working families.
These vetoes affected bills such as House Bill 880 to establish a Medicaid stabilization fund and House Bill 881 to expand Medicaid eligibility for children with disabilities, both intended to secure healthcare access.
Additional vetoed legislation included House Bill 660 to broaden hearing aid insurance coverage and House Bill 271 to limit the governor's executive privilege to enhance governmental openness guaranteed by Montana’s constitutional right to know.
Gianforte also supported a bill providing an income tax break for wealthy individuals despite concerns it would reduce revenue needed for public services, while Democrats emphasized their efforts to pass bills supporting Montanans’ welfare.
The session’s outcome reflects ongoing tension between Gianforte’s policy decisions and bipartisan initiatives intended to enhance transparency and aid vulnerable populations in Montana.
