You bet. Thanks Charley. I encourage folks to take a look at the results of the Sept. meeting. Some good stuff there like the updated water quality regulations and the overview of water law in Montana and the West.

It’ll be interesting to see how the HB52 process works out. And to see what happens at the January meeting of the Water Policy Committee.

Yep, I like that. At least it shows that some of them are willing to use a bigger hammer when they have to. There may be some spine left in the Senate yet.

Yep, I hear that the proud folks in and around Big Mountain … err, Whitefish Mountain Resort … really like what non-resident visitors have done to their special places.

Not to worry, they have friends in high places. Max has already taken well over a half million $$ from electric utilities and the oil and gas companies for the 2010 election cycle. As soon as he is finished screwing your health care, he can't wait to get his hands on the cap and trade bill. Watch those contributions spike when the energy bill hits the Finance Committee.

I saw the coal porn propaganda commercial a few days ago and I could not believe it.

The lengths these old industry people will go to keep themselves afloat is astounding. If I were them, I’d be bailing, selling off to the highest bidder, and taking all my ill-gotten gains and investing in wind and solar.

Comment on Best Health Care System in the World by Bugle Editor

Bugle Editor — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:13:44 +0000

Thanks for your comment. There are many reasons why our friends need occasional help. One of the largest is the ever-increasing cost of health insurance and health care. The costs of food, fuel, rent/mortgage or many other things can force families to look for assistance. It seems to me to be rather convoluted logic to say that you will not extend a helping hand to your neighbors because you disagree with the reasons they cannot feed their families. You can choose whether or not to drive a car. You can certainly choose not to drive while intoxicated. It may be inconvenient, but you cannot choose not to get cancer or diabetes or become disabled. This is a problem that has an easy solution. All we need to do is band together to demand a decent health care system and support our elected representatives who agree with us.
