The stories Jore told about his experiences in the legislature are invaluable as they describe exactly why our form of government has devolved into a morass of money generating laws and unaccountable bureaucracy.
“The basic assumption of government [officials]” according to Jore, “is to redistribute the wealth. They truly believe that the role of government is to get as much plunder from the public treasury as they can for their constituency. They truly believe that,” Jore said.
the office of state rep. Elected in November, 1994, Jore had agreed to sponsor a “right to work” bill that would help to diminish the power of labor unions over peoples' ability to seek and obtain job function email list gainful employment. By December he was already at odds with the Republican Governor Marc Racicot who announced that he would veto any right to work bill that came across his desk. Jore described the process he used to rationalize his sponsorship of the bill. “It is improper to use the force of law to require membership in a private organization.”
Jore's stand in support of peoples' right to work before he actually assumed the authority of his office set the tone for his entire six-year career as a legislator. Jore was the black sheep of the legislature because he felt that government decisions should reflect the principles outlined in the founding documents. “We are not headed into socialism. We are already there,” Jore said.
