Newly elected tea party enthusiasts in Montana are offering a vision of the future with a variety of new proposals.

Schweitzer and even some Republican lawmakers say the bills are making Montana into a laughingstock. Associated Press story here. (AP Photo/Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Sean Sperry, File)
