Hey everyone,

First of all thank you to everyone that has already submitted opposition on SB 365. Unfortunately, over 100 comments went to the the house committee and they need to be submitted to the senate committee. If this wasn’t so important I wouldn’t ask for you all to re submit. I have crudely marked on the flyer where you select which committee to send it to. You will need to select (s) (s) Business, Labor.

Thank you all.

Good evening,

SB 365 was picked up last week at the capitol. This bill proposes to eliminate Montana’s Board of Plumbers. This bill is extremely dangerous to the public safety and public health of Montana families. Eliminating the board means eliminating the industry’s leading experts, those experts are the people that assure the licensure standards are being met and ultimately, protecting the health of our state. If you have time please call the legislature switchboard @406-444-4800 and opposing SB 365. Thank you all.

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know, Bonnie’s son Bert has had a long fight with medical issues after he was injured on a job during his time with Local 41. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you as of this morning at 3:18am, our Brother Bert Sholey left this world way too soon at the young age of 35.

Please keep Bonnie and the Sholey family in your hearts and in your thoughts.

- Godspeed my friend, may you Rest In Peace.
