Retiring Missoula City Councilor Jesse Ramos Rips JEDI Program
Ramos was deeply critical of the entire program.
“What essentially is that we re going to be hiring more bureaucrats,” said Ramos. “At the end of the day, it s a way for the government to sneakily grow itself by covering it with the guise of trying to seek this perfect utopia which they seem to always be chasing. But that s just a ruse. They just care about making it look like they re doing something to satisfy the voters.”
Ramos continued his comments by stating that the program is another way to get $150,000 from the Missoula taxpayers.

Brandon Bryant Found Not Guilty of Threats and Intimidation
After a three day trial in Missoula District Court this week, Staff Sergeant Brandon Bryant was found not guilty of all charges after making a threatening YouTube video about city council members.
On February 14, 2020, Chief Deputy County Attorney Matt Jennings, charged Bryant with two felonies; threats and improper influence of public officials and intimidation.
KGVO reported at the time that “Bryant had been charged with threats or improper influence in political or official matters,” Jennings said. “People’s right to free speech is critically important in our society and by all means, people have a right to engage in their government, but they don’t have a right to make threats against those people that are making the decisions. Some of the things that were alleged in that case are very disturbing and resulted in charges being brought against that individual for those threats.”
