Schweitzer Takes on Feds To Protect Montana's Water

Gov. Brian Schweitzer's efforts to protect Montana's water supply - and the agricultural communities it supports - were profiled in yesterday's Washington Post. He's taking a hardline against energy/mining companies that think they should be able to pollute Montana's streams and lakes and not have to clean up after themselves. Not surprisingly, the supposedly pro-states-rights conservatives in Washington are trying to stop Schweitzer from asserting Montana's right to keep its water clean. Check out the story here.
