Helena Independent Record – July 16, 2008
In a tense public session marked by accusations of a “political hatchet job,” a divided state Public Service Commission Tuesday voted to seek a legal ruling on Commissioner Brad Molnar’s use of private donations to fund an energy-conservation event.
The 3-0 vote, taken after Molnar and fellow Republican Commissioner Doug Mood walked out in protest, formally asked Attorney General Mike McGrath to clarify the guidelines for public officials accepting and using certain private donations.
All three of the five-member commission’s Democrats voted to submit the request to McGrath, who’s also a Democrat.
