#MTGOV Daily Rundown: NBC Reporter says Bullock staff "would not allow me to ask more questions." Plus, who else was on the plane Governor?


More questions are now surfacing after it was reported that Governor Steve Bullock (D-MT) abused a taxpayer funded airplane to fly to a Paul McCartney concert in Missoula. Bullock has already been under fire for abusing the taxpayer funded airplane to fly to campaign fundraisers, now it appears as though the governor is abusing taxpayer resources for personal travel as well.  

Which leads Montana's GOP Chairman Jeff Essmann to ask the question: who else was on the plane, governor? Which other state officials are willing to abuse taxpayer resources for personal travel?

Newstalk KGVO: MTGOP Leader Asks For Governor Bullock’s Work Schedule After Trip to Paul McCartney Concert

After KGVO News reported that Governor Bullock took the state plane to Missoula the day of the Paul McCartney Concert in 2014, The Governor’s Communication Director Tim Crow said that there were two official economic development related events in Missoula the same day. Now, MTGOP Chairman Jeff Essmann is describing those events as “cocktail parties” and says the public deserves to see Governor Bullock’s work schedule.
Essmann says that they have not seen a schedule, nor been able to see who was on the flight to Missoula the day of the McCartney concert.

Meanwhile, Steve Bullock was caught dodging questions from a reporter with NBC Montana. Bullock was asked about his endorsement of Hillary Clinton by NBC Montana.

Bullock's response? "I had said quite a while ago that I would be supporting our nominee, and I will be doing so."  http://www.nbcmontana.com/news/ktvm/bullock-will-not-attend-dnc-still-endorses-clinton/33292177

Then, at the end of the interview, the reporter says Bullock's staff wouldn't let her ask him any other questions.

NBC Montana reporter: "But his staff would not allow me to ask any more questions."

What other questions was the reporter going to ask? Was she going to ask about Bullock's abuse of the state owned airplane, and who else was on the concert trip?  Which other state officials are willing to abuse taxpayer resources to attend a rock concert? Was she going to ask him why he's accepted thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from MEIC and the Sierra Club- the same groups working to shut down Colstrip?
