In the seventh episode of the Mad About Montana Podcast,Erik Nylund and Bill Foley once again welcome Trudy Healy, who represents Butte’s District 8 on the Butte-Silver Bow Council of Commissioners.

In this episode, they talk with Commissioner Healy about the bullying and retribution that she, like many others, has experienced for asking tough questions of our local government. They discuss how the secrecy behind House Bill 547 will likely bring anything but healing to the rift between our volunteer firefighters and the Butte-Silver Bow Fire Department.

Also, Trudy exposes non-disclosure agreements and,basically, a loyalty pledges Butte-Silver Bow is forcing members of government boards to sign. So much for transparency in our local government.
