Montana Budget

From Montana Women Vote:
Please join Montana Women Vote for a discussion about "What's at Stake With the State Budget?"
You probably already know that schools, health care, roads, and state parks are all funded by the state budget. What you might not know is Montana could face a gap in funding that is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The math is pretty simple – if we don't find new revenue, we could be in store for cuts to programs like Meals on Wheels, childcare assistance, cuts to state funding for family planning, and elimination of all-day kindergarten.
Fortunately, we can respond by letting elected officials know how much we value services that make Montana a great place to live and work, but only we can tell our story about the need to keep funding for these vital public resources.
The meeting will be an opportunity to learn about the budget, ask questions, and find out ways to use your voice to make a difference!
A meeting to discuss our response to the state’s revenue crisis:
Wed. December 8th, 11:30-12:30pm, with an option to take action between 12:30-1pm
Missoula Public Library, 310 E. Main St, Missoula
This event is co-sponsored by: Montana Women Vote, the Montana Human Rights Network,
and the Montana Organizing Project.
Food will be provided and RSVPs are appreciated! To RSVP or for questions contact Olivia Riutta
543-3550 x 213.

Tamara "Tammy" Hall, the ultra-angry, ultra right-winger in Bozeman who pens an occasional column for the Bozeman Chronicle and is supposedly a "motivational speaker" for a living, has written a hater-piece about the Governor this week. She compares him to a rat, calling him arrogant, and using the favorite new accusation of the right wing: that he is a "celebrity" (talk about desperate). It's probably for the best that the column doesn't appear online, as I'd hate to have to link to it.
The interesting part about Hall, and the small handful of angry, downwardly-mobile types that pay any attention to her, is that Schweitzer recently got the endorsement of Newt Gingrich and the Wall Street Journal. I don't care much for Newt or the WSJ's Stephen Moore who wrote the editorial, but Schweitzer did deserve the credit because he made the decision, when the state was flush with cash, to save money rather than spend it.
(And Schweitzer is probably the only politician in the last fifty years to get praise from the WSJ while advocating a Canadian Health System.)
Nevertheless, the continuously manic and angry Hall may have become delusional as well, and should check the label on her medication. Because if she is calling somebody a tax-and-spend politician when they have just gotten praise from Gingcrich and the WSJ for being fiscally responsible, she probably needs to up her dose.
