Brian Schweitzer</a> said Tuesday.<br />n<br />n"We owe more bills than we have money," he said in an interview. "That's hardly a surplus. Only Enron accounting would call that a surplus."<br />n<br />nNonetheless, Schweitzer said he'll recommend one-time uses for at least some of the money.<br />n<br />nSchweitzer said his top priorities are bolstering public-employee pension funds and school funding, and having money left over for emergencies, such as forest fires. </blockquote><br />n<br />nUse one time monies to "bolster school funding." <br />n<br />nEXCUSE ME!!!!!<br />n<br />nSchool funding requires money every year. <br />n<br />nTHINK Schweitzer, THINK. this isn't going to work.<br />n<br />n<b>In politics stupidity is not a handicap.
