Montana Senate votes to refer ethics investigation of Sen. Jason Ellsworth to state DOJ.
The Montana Senate voted 27-22 to delay the Senate Ethics Committee's investigation into former Senate President Sen. Jason Ellsworth, referring the case to the state Department of Justice. Ellsworth is accused of not following proper procedure in approving a $170,000 state contract, with findings of "abuse and waste." Democrats claim the Senate's ethics process had become overly politicized, while Republicans argue this move could sweep ethics concerns under the rug.
