BUTTE – Montana veterans say the governor’s recent veto of funding for extra housing for elderly veterans at a Butte veterans home is a ‘slap in the face.’ “It was a punch in the gut,” said Dave Williamson the chairman of the Southwest Montana Veterans Home Foundation, following Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte decision not to fund a sixth cottage at the Southwest Montana Veterans Home. Veteran home officials are asking voters to reach out to their representatives to ask them to overturn the veto.
