Bullock, Montana reach deal over security detail payments

HELENA — Montana Gov. Steve Bullock has reached a deal with Attorney General Tim Fox to keep a Montana Highway Patrol security detail with him when he travels out of state to campaign for president.

Fox sent Bullock an email on May 31 saying the state troopers who make up the governor's executive protection detail would stop traveling with him on business that is "entirely focused on supporting and advocating for your election to another public office," Montana Public Radio reported.

Bullock has made repeated trips to Iowa, New York and elsewhere since announcing his candidacy in May for the Democratic nomination for president.

Bullock Chief of Staff Ali Bovingdon expressed concern in a response to Fox about how security changes would affect Bullock's and his family's safety.

She was from Butte and would not live in the Governor's mansion. She insisted on the Highway Patrol officers drive her to and from Butte every working day, for 4 years. That is 68 miles one way, over an hour of travel time and that is in good road conditions.
