Ok I'm a democrat but I'm also a past union secretary/treasurer and I must say that the numbers I've seen in the article appear a little ambiguous and incomplete. I understand the grey factor aside I'm in agreement that if the governor no matter the party should try to avoid mixing business but it is also many times a good way to take care of both since they'll be there anyway. I think the governors campaign needs to go the extra mile here to avoid any chance of misconduct any pay a fair share of the expense involved for the trip. The downside is the next Legislature needs to be prepared to address government transportation in reference to political and government events and specific use and reimbursements! So it affects all employees of the public running for office and their current positions

Come on Montana, let's count the number of personal hours we owe the Governor for spending time on us instead of spending it with his 3 children. There is give & take in every job!
