Bullock will refund state for campaign-related use of state plane
HELENA — Gov. Steve Bullock will reimburse the state for travel using the state-owned plane that coincided with campaign events, going back to the start of his term.
Bullock will pay $2,671.84, according to a press release sent Friday afternoon.
The governor's legal counsel has advised that Bullock may use state-owned aircraft to fly to a location and attend a campaign event as long as he is also attending official state events on the same day.
On Thursday, Bullock adopted and signed a new policy, which will refund the state, though the release said increased costs to the state are very rare due to the fixed costs associated with the trips.
