Business Friendly Or Not
Boy, don't disagree with our Governor. He gets a might testy.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/02/20/news/state/25-governor.txt">Schweitzer pans professors' business ideas</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote><a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov.

Montana Governor Out to Destroy the Cattle Industry
Isn't the decision those in power make just wonderful sometimes. The federal government tells ranchers they have to control brucellosis or face severe restrictions on their abilities to move cattle across state lines like our friends in <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1485-Idaho-and-Brucellosis.html">Idaho</a> and <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/83-Brucellosis-in-Wyoming.html">Wyoming</a> recently found out. Yet <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> decides that letting <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/02/09/news/state/40-gov-bison.txt">possibly…

Stooges
I see <a href="http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2006/01/27/news/local/news025.txt">somebody agrees with my position</a> that the <acronym title="United States Department of Agriculture, Bought and Paid for by The Big Meat Packers">USDA</acronym> and the big meat packers are in bed together.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>On another issue affecting Montana, Schweitzer lashed out again at the U.S. Department of Agriculture over the most recent mad…

"Last Best Place" Trademarks

Finally Stepping Forward
I am glad to see Gov Schweitzer finally <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/12/07/build/state/60-ed-plan.inc">stepping forward</a> with some kind of education plan of his own. Why your popular Governor didn't do this before hand is beyond me. I have criticized him enough here on not taking a leadership role on this issue I felt it was only appropriate to say…

Positive Media Coverage
I was just visiting with my Uncle from the Billings are who was unaware of my opinion of your Governor. He told me what a bang up job Gov. Schweitzer was doing. I turned to him and said, "Tell me one thing Schweitzer has done positive for the state of Montana."<br />n<br />nHe thought for…

Stupid Ideas
First the Governor has a <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1347-Think.html">mind dump</a> on what to do with the excess monies the State seems to have and now a Republican is having just as big of <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?tl=1&display=rednews/2005/11/28/build/state/31-aspecialsession.inc">brain fart</a> as the Governor.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>House Republican leader Roy Brown said the state has a projected surplus in excess of $300 million…

Con-Man
<blockquote>Also, Schweitzer added, "I feed off people."</blockquote><br />n<br />nI don't know about you but this quote flat scares me (<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/11/27/build/state/25-gov-plane.inc">found here</a>). A good salesman or con-man "feeds off people." I want a leader, not a con-man leading our State.<br />n<br />n<b>At the end of the day, it is law-abiding, bill-paying citizens who pay for…

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.…

What Leadership II
A few more thoughts about Schweitzer's lack of leadership on the school funding issue.<br />n<br />nI keep hearing, <u>as an excuse</u> of his lack of leadership, that the Court said the Legislature needed to fix the issue and not the Governor so that's why he is staying out of it. What I don't understand here…
