Campaign Contribution
There was an <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/03/09/news/state/40-horsesense.txt">interesting story</a> in the Gazette about a week ago about how if the candidates for Governor of the state don't have a primary challenger, they will have to give some of the campaign contributions they have received so far back. As of last reporting <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> had over $200,000…

Sitting
I guess I'm not the only one that thinks <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> needs to get off his duff and <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/01/10/news/state/24-coalleases.txt">do something with the Otter Creek coal tracts</a>. So, will he do something about it? Maybe but I kind of doubt it.<br />n<br />n<strong>Do something wonderful, people may imitate it. Albert Schweitzer</strong>

Right Thing
Gov. Brian Schweitzer got it right <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/01/05/news/state/32-schweitzer.txt">here</a> at least. I know earlier he was considering accepting the deal but the pressure must have been too great. Believe me, I don't think a court case is the best thing but what else is there to do?<br />n<br />n<strong>Next to doing the right thing, the most…

Energy Development
I see there is a <a href="http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071202/NEWS01/712020304">new proposal</a> out there to use some of the Otter Creek coal that the state of Montana is sitting on. Sounds interesting to say the least. <br />n<br />nWhy is it necessary to transport the coal almost 500 miles from Ashland to Butte to do this? Why can't they…

Life Rope?
<blockquote>"We threw them a life rope," he said. "They said 'We don't want any life ropes.' That's what their position is."</blockquote><br />n<br />nBullshit!!!!! The Governor didn't throw a life rope for God's sake. He threw an unworkable proposal that was designed to take our focus away from the real issue. How to control brucellosis in…

No Split State
I see the Board of Livestock has decided <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/11/07/news/state/19-panelists.txt">against split state status</a> for Brucellosis here in Montana. The Governor decided to let the ranching community decide and they let their feelings be known to the Board of Livestock yesterday.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>After hours of rancorous debate punctuated by yelling and boos from the audience, the…

Told You So
I told you the other day that <a href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/2898-Nothing.html"><a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> knew he couldn't help</a> the Morgans and <a href="http://karbonkountymoos.com/">Karen</a> but just didn't want to tell them to their face. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/10/08/news/state/20-brucellosis.txt">Today's article about the situation</a> just confirms that.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>A Bridger ranching family that had to slaughter all its stock because of a…

Curiosity
I would be really curious to know how much of my tax money the Governor has convinced the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/10/03/news/state/45-airforce.txt">Air Force to spend on this Coal to Fuel project</a> at Malmstrom. Why is it necessary for the Air Force to get into making fuel? I know planes take a lot of fuel but is it…

Buffer Zone
As you may or may not know, <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> has proposed a buffer zone around Yellowstone National Park as an answer to the Brucellosis problem in the Park. I give him credit for trying to do something about the situation but I don't really think a buffer zone is the answer.<br />n<br />nIt…
