The testimony of Sarah Arnold resumed in the Wittich campaign practices trial, revealing inner workings of the National Right to Work campaign operation in MT.

The jury hearing the case against Bozeman Republican Art Wittich has now heard two days of testimony. State Political Practices Commissioner Jonathan Motl's case against Wittich charges the lawmaker with failing to report thousands of dollars in campaign services he allegedly received from the National Right To Work Committee when he was running for state senate in 2010. We spoke with Montana Free Press Editor-in-Chief John S. Adams who's covering the trial from Helena.

John S. Adams is the Editor-in-Chief of Montana Free Press.

Eric Whitney is NPR's Mountain West/Great Plains Bureau Chief, and was the former news director for Montana Public Radio.
