Legislative priorities, gay marriage and guns – a conversation with Governor Steve Bullock

Democratic Governor Steve Bullock is starting his fourth month in office, and navigating a Republican-dominated legislature. In this feature interview, the governor sits down with News Director Sally Mauk to talk about his legislative priorities – from Medicaid expansion to pay raises for state workers. He also discusses how he feels about gay marriage – and  universal background checks for gun-buyers.
Although the governor’s proposals to expand Medicaid to cover 70,000 low income Montanans have been tabled in both the House and Senate, he thinks the fight for that expansion is far from over.
