Montana Politics: Upholding Constitutional Rights
In a recent report from Colorado Politics, attention is turned to the state of Montana and the positive developments that have emerged. The article mentions Mike Waters, a former colleague of the author who won a county commissioner race in Yellowstone County as a far-right Republican. Despite ideological differences, the author praises Waters for his honesty, kindness, and dedication to his constituents.
Additionally, the article highlights a groundbreaking ruling by the Montana Supreme Court, which declared that the state had been violating residents’ constitutional rights to a clean environment. The court’s decision, by a surprising 6-1 majority, criticized the state government for permitting oil, gas, and coal projects without considering climate change implications.
The author expresses shock and delight at the court’s progressive ruling, especially considering Montana’s predominantly red political landscape. The case, brought forth by 16 Montana residents ranging in age from 7 to 23, highlights the importance of the American judicial system in upholding constitutional rights regardless of one’s wealth or power.
Overall, the author commends Montana for these positive developments and encourages citizens with issues to reach out to Commissioner Mike Waters for assistance. The story serves as a reminder of the importance of principled leadership and the impact of grassroots efforts in shaping government decisions.
