A good story I missed yesterday from the Chronicle's Daniel Person (whom I should note has generally been doing good work) on the House moving to protect CHIP. Rep. Bill Glaser takes a swing at Sen. Keith Bales, a fellow Republican:The one Republican who voted with the Democrats was Rep. Bill Glaser, R-Huntley. Glaser caught fire from some conservative Republicans in 2007 for working with Gov. Brian Schweitzer to pass a budget in special session. He said his Republican colleagues are risking another session with no budget passed by standing firm on the education and insurance debates. "Mr. Bales is wrong. Mr. Bales thinks he can go against 70 percent of the voters. Mr. Bales thinks he can destroy schools in two years. ... I don't agree with that," Glaser said.
Disbanding the committee forces them to work in consensus rather than compromise. I like consensus," he said.
The good news for the state is that there is at least one Republican embracing common sense and working across the aisle to support education and children's health insurance. The bad news is that the history of the modern GOP in Montana means that his colleagues will clobber him for doing so.
If you see Rep. Glaser, tell him thanks for his courage. |
