The Montana Senate rejected Andrew McKean’s application to continue his service on the Fish and Wildlife Commission by a 31-18 party-line vote, with all Democrats voting in favor and all Republicans voting against McKean.
During the Senate Committee hearing on McKean, Sen. Flowers, D-Bozeman, asked, “what is the explanation for your ‘do not concur’? When I look at Mr. McKean's qualifications, and I looked at and considered the testimony… he seems like the ideal candidate for the Fish Wildlife and Parks Commission; he certainly has all the experience we would hope for someone to serve on the Commission.”
