  • Status Quo

    <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/01/16/news/state/54-bill.txt" >Governor, developers split on bill</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>If Montana is going to develop more of its wind, coal, oil and gas, it will need ways to move energy products beyond its borders, and a new state board or authority can help encourage new power lines and pipelines, supporters of the idea said Monday.<br />n<br…

  • More News On Walter Schweitzer

    There was an article awhile ago on Walter Schweitzer and the role he played in state government which I <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2135-Access-Restrictions.html">talked about</a>. It was in a small paper and I have been waiting for the larger media to pick up on the story and see where it goes from there. I finally see the larger…

  • Access Restrictions

    I've heard rumors for quite a while now that to approach the Governor of our fair state, Brian Schweitzer, it is necessary to go through his brother. I never heard the name of this brother but I have heard that it is necessary to be very careful what you say because if he takes exception…

  • I Will Say it Again

    The question I posed over a year ago is still not answered, what makes Gov Schweitzer and his sycophants ever believe the environmental groups are going to allow coal production of any kind in the state of Montana?<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1167-Question-As-Yet-Unanswered.html" >Question As Yet Unanswered</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Every time I read a story about <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov.…

  • Poison

  • King?

    Some body really thinks highly of themselves now don't they.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>As if that wasn't enough, Schweitzer took off his trademark bolo tie and hung it around Sexton's neck, saying the governor's string tie was the closest thing Montana has to bestowing knighthood on a citizen for a job well done.</blockquote><br />n<br />nEverybody out there…
