Legislative Listening Tour to stop in Ronan
News from the Democratic Montana Legislators
RONAN — On Thursday, Jan. 25, at 6 p.m., at the Ronan Mission Valley Senior Center, 528 Main Street W, Senate Democratic Whip Susan Webber (D-Browning), Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Committee Mary Caferro (D-Helena) and Sen. Shane A. Morigeau (D-Missoula) will hold a public Legislative Listening session in Lake County.
Democrats are on a Legislative Listening Tour to hear from all Montanans about the direction the state is moving. This winter, the tour heads to the western side of the state with a focus on rural areas.
These face-to-face sessions give legislators the chance to hear the public’s ideas and concerns. The tour has traveled 11,086 miles across many of Montana’s landscapes. The Legislative Listening Tour kicked off in Great Falls this summer, and has made additional stops in Belgrade, Fort Peck, Laurel, Red Lodge, Lewistown, and Havre.
