Head over to Montana Headlines to read the outstanding interview with Montana Secretary of State Brad Johnson. It’s very informative and a tribute both to Brad Johnson and to the hard work being done over at Montana Headlines.
You won’t find this sort of interview in any Newspaper I’m familiar with. I guess blogs can be a source of “real news” after all.
Update: Don’t miss Part 2.
This just in: Montana has received a below-average score on a report of state government (thanks Gov. BS!). Term-limits seemed like a good idea, but when you couple that with the Lobbyist Witch Hunt we end up with a government that has lost all institutional knowledge. From the report:
The state’s budget processes themselves aren’t particularly troublesome. But term limits have made the Montana legislature a hothouse, as dozens of new lawmakers, untutored in the ways of fiscal negotiation, debated their way last year into the most tempestuous budget sessions in memory.
