For nine months they've been spewing lies and character assassination on Senator Burns. It's all politics.

Those elected officials addressed the BRAC commission directly, and really showed that strong support for the military existed in Montana.

Burns is committed to providing affordable and accessible health care to Montanans, and the reductions cited were to reduce Medicare overpayments, which were not benefiting Montana seniors.

They wanted to meet with the senators and they had all of their people together in one location and so they got him out there to meet with him. I don't think they get any more access than anyone else does.

When the speaker of the house comes, you listen.

We wish him the best of luck. I do not know what precipitated this. To the best of my knowledge, he was not terminated.
