Taking a chapter out of the corrupt Utah playbook, I see:
HELENA — Montana lawmakers are poised to foot the bill to defend a state senator who is being sued under the state's public records act to release her emails.

Earlier this month, a legislative committee allocated $100,000 to help pay legal fees that might arise from a case involving Republican Sen. Jennifer Fielder of Thompson Falls.

In February, the Campaign for Accountability sued Fielder and the state's legislative arm for failing to release documents requested a year ago.

State law requires public officials to release documents, including emails, pertaining to their official duties.

Fielder said she was not aware that the money was being set aside for her case.

Democratic Sen. Mary Caferro of Helena said it was inappropriate for the state to spend money to defend Fielder.
