of what the Mega Wealthy are up to. Happen to know the area in this story. And the real Property Owner is a total Jerk. Talk about White Rich Privilege.

of Gianforte. It seems ridiculous that someone would want to be governor of a state, but also be willing to sue the state when they believe that they are being slighted. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have a Democratic governor after the election.

If you know anything about Montana and it's Political History,one would see the correlation. A few years ago Charles Schwab and a few Billionaires tried to change the rules as to Public Access to Waterways by electing Judges who favored their point of view. Well,they did get two of their hand picked people on the State Supreme Court,and if it wasn't the investigative nature of a few,they would have gotten more of their hand picks on the Court.

I'm obviously not aware of many of the details of what happened in Montana a few years ago, but I'm learning. I'm hoping that keeping the state groups active is a learning opportunity for everyone on DU. If nothing else, I'm building an archive of information that might be helpful to someone at some point in the future.
