Gov. Schweitzer Blasts Montana Lawmakers for Buying New Laptops

Gov. Brian Schweitzer lambasted Republicans running the Legislature Monday for approving money to get new laptop computers for lawmakers, arguing the move is hypocritical since they ran campaigns opposing government spending.

I don’t think when they were running for office they said, ‘furthermore the first thing I will do is vote to give myself a new computer,’" Schweitzer said. "I guarantee none of them had that in their platform. I will bet all of the money in my pocket right now."
