Governor Steve Bullock’s 2019 State of the State Address

In his final State of the State address, Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock made a strong pitch Thursday night for his top priorities of education and infrastructure funding and Medicaid expansion – and told lawmakers he won’t accept an inadequate state budget.

“Don’t send me a budget where I’ll have to make the cuts, due to the failure of this Legislature to leave money in the bank,” he said. “Because if you do, I’ll send it back.”

Bullock spoke for nearly 45 minutes to a joint session at the Capitol of the Montana House and Senate, which are both controlled by Republicans.
