"In an interview, Kelker said it is common for state legislators to publish under their name op-eds that they did not write. “That’s pretty normal,\ she said. \Actually, most of the time, for legislators, at least in Montana, [they wrote: are written by someone else. You know, a helper-person, not necessarily a lobbyist. I normally write all of the text for my op-eds.”
She added: “I suppose I’m fairly naive. … As a legislator, you learn to sort out who is a good guy, and who is not, in terms of the lobbyists, and [MacDonald] has always been really straight. I don’t hang out or do anything with lobbyists much, but I really do trust him.\""]
