He voted against TARP and got nothing. But when he voted for stimulus he got a seat at the appropriations table.
He has managed to vote for more pork and wasteful spending than every politician ever elected in Montana combined.
Any thoughts on your end about his Forest Bill?
From what I’ve heard (couldn’t get into his meeting), it’s a boon to a logger when other logging ops are closing down (Smurfit Stone), ie, no market for anything (and fire danger).
Of course, there’s also the added closure of more land to all recreational use. Just what environmentalists want... more land closed.
(even the forest seems to be opposed)
A real representative he is, just not sure for whom.
Unfortunately, that is what some business and local government interests want. They love the pork!
What is your sense of how the people of MT will react to the socialist health care bill? Anything in your local papers about it?
