Governor Bullock discusses budget, ’17 session

Gov. Steve Bullock said Thursday he and his staff followed a few "guideposts" in crafting a proposed $9.7 billion biennium budget that included the state not spending more than it makes and leaving a $300 million ending-fund balance in 2019.

Bullock, 50, entering his second term as governor, was in Great Falls to pitch an infrastructure plan during a news conference and he stopped by the Tribune afterward to discuss a slew of topics before the 65th legislative session starts Jan. 2, including Real ID, a proposed tax increase for those who make more than $500,000, the recent election and a possible replacement for Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont.
