Gov’t Inefficiency Galore: Secretary of State Office Sued over Overcharging Scandal
A class-action lawsuit has been launched by Columbia Falls Brewery and seven other businesses across the state, claiming that the Office of Montana’s Secretary of State (SOS) has been overcharging them by double-billing their business fees, all without their consent of knowledge.
Insisting that this is all one big “side hustle”, the suit names Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen as a defendant. They say the SOS office has been double charging customers for years and not notifying them of the error, accruing more than $120,000 in fees in the process. Jacobsen, they say, knew about the problems since 2019, and did nothing about it. The lawsuit reads in part:
“While businesses in Montana hung on by a thread as the COVID-19 pandemic raged, while other arms of government did all they could to route money to keep small businesses afloat, the Secretary of State’s Office was skimming—to the tune of more than $120,000 in fiscal year 2020. A lucrative side hustle, to say the least”
Columbia Falls Brewery is joined by Wicked Good Handyman Service, Purple Snow Promotional, Pine Street Rentals, Backslope Brewing, Essential Mountain Products, Black Dog Farm, and The Mental Health Update who acknowledge that the double charging was not malicious.
Instead, it was a result of a glitch in the system that would give payees a notification saying that their last attempt to pay did not go through, even though it did, prompting them to pay again. While it may not have been purposeful, it also wasn’t purposefully fixed.
The problem is compounded by the fact that in typical government inefficiency, even though they can take payments immediately and instantaneously, they are unable to issue refunds electronically.
Instead, the requests must be made in writing and can take up to a year to be refunded. With many of the charges being of relatively low value, frequently under $25, these are either not caught or are just shrugged off, as people don’t want to deal with the rigamarole and hassle of the whole process, given the hoops that must be jumped through.
While the Secretary of State’s office claims that these duplicates only happened for a few months last year and was quickly nipped in the bud, the suit alleges that it’s still going on to this day, arguing:
“Upon information and belief, the Secretary has continued to wrongfully retain overcharges from its customers through fiscal year 2021 and into fiscal year 2022

Planned Parenthood Montana CEO Laments Texas Abortion Ban, Vows to Fight for the Right to Kill Babies
Three months ago Texas Governor Greg Abbot signed a fetal heartbeat bill into law, making it illegal to have an abortion once the heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as 6 weeks.
The law, which went into effect September 1, further bars them from engaging in their murderous practices if they haven’t performed an ultrasound first to detect that heartbeat.
Any abortion provider not following these practices can be sued and subject to civil action by any interested party (The girl, her boyfriend, her husband, a friend, etc.), to be awarded no less than $10,000 and all attorney fees.
Planned Parenthood, the apex predator of the baby-killing world, vowed to fight it tooth and nail, and was joined by President Biden, who also pledges to uphold Roe v. Wade.
Martha Stahl, CEO of Planned Parenthood in Montana, was quick to assure abortion-minded residents that while she loathed this new ruling, it only affected Texas and that Planned Parenthood abortuaries in the state would remain open to see patients:
“(Texas having a ban)…doesn’t mean that automatically every state is going to have a six-week ban or 15-week ban. It basically opens the door to state legislators to put regulations and obstacles in front of people having abortions as they wish, as long as they’re sort of within the confines of what the supreme court has said is constitutional.”
Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit in Yellowstone District Court against the Gianfiote Government several weeks ago seeking to stop four new laws restricting access to abortion in the state. Coming into effect October 1, 2021, the suit names Attorney General Austin Knudsen as a defendant.
These laws are nowhere near strict as the Texas ones, but they ban abortions after 20 weeks (the overwhelming majority of abortions happen before this, so this does little), make abortionists have to ask the women if they want to see an ultrasound before the procedure, make it harder to get birth control pills and limit the ability of insurance to cover the procedures.
Given that Republicans have a supermajority in the House and Senate, we would urge our legislators to not only follow Texas’ lead but to leapfrog them altogether, abolishing abortion completely and purposefully inviting the full force and wrath of Martha Stahl and Planned Parenthood upon the state to do battle with.

Liberal Media Butchers Story on Graybill Suing MDG Publisher Over Alleged “Transphobia”
[Editor’s Note: Contributed by JD Hall]
The Great Falls Tribune, a dying out-of-state newspaper that’s owned by Lee Enterprises, picked up a story from another out-of-state publication, the Daily Montanan (staffed by #DefundThePolice advocates as writers), which is funded by Democrat activists in Washington D.C. (read about that here).
As always, a day (or weeks) late and dollars short, they covered the news story of Planned Parenthood’s attorney, Raph Graybill, signing on to sue me in my home county over what his client calls “transphobia.”
Their first failure; they fail to mention the real reason I’m being sued.
Secondly, the news outlet projects lies contrary to science and objective reality, calling the cross-dressing man a “woman,” which of course, we will not do because our editorial policy is pro-reality (read about why Montana Daily Gazette doesn’t use fake pronouns here). Can you really trust their reporting when they intentionally call a man, a woman?
And then there’s this gem from the Democrat Washington D.C. story, aggregated in the Great Falls Tribune…
That account offers no source and neither Laszloffy nor the state Senator, nor the sergeant-at-arms appear to have been contacted by the online outlet.
All I’m going to say prior to court is, don’t make assumptions. The Daily Montanan made some assumptions.
However, what the Daily Montanan failed to point out is that Montana Daily Gazette asked Jawort to review the story before publication, and he refused because I would not refer to him as Ms. Jawort (because he’s not a woman). Meanwhile, I’ve seen no evidence suggesting our story isn’t accurate to the best of my ability. The publication also refused to mention that thanks to Montanan’s Journalism Shield Law, I don’t have to name my sources, some of whom are legislators and well-aware of Jawrots antics.
Meanwhile, the Daily Montanan did not contact me before publishing their story, indicating our journalistic standards are actually higher than theirs. This is why MDG is the #1 news outlet in the state and The Great Falls Tribune is liquidating assets and selling their property.
As our attorney, Matthew Monforton, told the Daily Montanan editor, “We are confident that at the end of the day, the Montana Daily Gazette will be fully vindicated.”
In the meantime, it appears that Graybill has his hands full suing Attorney General Austin Knudsen to stop our pro-life laws passed this session. So far as we are concerned at Montana Daily Gazette, the truth marches on.

‘Our Decision is Final.’ MT Supreme Court Denies AG Hearing Request, Kills Notorious ‘Email Case’
The Supreme Court of Montana has unanimously and overwhelmingly rejected the Republican-run Legislatures’ petition to reconsider their ruling against their fact-finding mission, slamming that door shut and effectively killing the acrid skirmish between the two governments branches.
Several months ago, the Attorney General and the Legislature decided to do a little digging and subpoenaed email records from the Supreme Court justices and Court Administrator Beth McLaughlin, on account of suspicion that judicial misconduct and bias were going on.
These emails contained information that was highly embarrassing to the court, which the Montana Daily Gazette has written about a length here, here, here, and here. The Supreme Court and the Admin got caught with their pants down, with their hands in the cookie jar, with a flashlight sneaking out the window to go meet some fellow Democrat paramour or any other folksy way of saying that they got busted doing VERY BAD THINGS.
The justices went ballistic and struck back. They ruled the subpoena invalid and demanded that the legislature be prohibited from “disseminating, publishing, or reproducing” any further information from the emails and asked for it to be returned immediately.
As a result, Knudsen’s office filed a petition with the court asking them to reconsider and give up the goods. Irritated and not in a mood to grant favors, the court allowed the petition, but warned that they would only hear it if the legislature could prove the court erred by overlooking facts that were “material to the decision” or messed up in some other way.
Unsurprising, the court ruled that they did nothing wrong, writing in their decision.
“The Legislature has not shown that the court overlooked any material facts or issues…we conclude that the Legislature has not established grounds for rehearing. Instead, it mischaracterizes or misapprehends numerous provisions of the court’s decision and suggests rulings the court did not make.”
For all intents and purposes, due to the separation of powers, this kills the Attorney Generals’ office attempt to shed further light on the shenanigans happening at the Supreme Court. In a statement, McLaughlin’s attorney, Randy Cox was effusive over the court’s decision, noting:
“The petition for rehearing must have been written for political purposes because it came nowhere near meeting the legal requirements of the rule. That the Court disposed of the petition quickly is no surprise.”
Kyle Schmauch, Communications Director for the Senate Majority at the Montana Legislature was bullish on whether or not this was truly the end of things, saying that they would discuss lawmakers would be meeting to discuss possible “next steps” in how they wish to proceed.
