Bullock Gov
FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2015 file photo, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock gives his State of the State speech to a joint session in the house chambers of the state Capitol in Helena, Mont. Bullock has offered to pay back some of the costs of using a government-owned airplane to get to campaign events that coincide with state business, but some Republican lawmakers say that is not good enough and he should cover more of the bill. Under new protocols issued Friday, March 18, 2016, the governor said he would compensate the state for any future use of the aircraft mixing state and campaign business.
