Montanans Future

Arnie Sherman has an excellent piece on thinking about Montana's future. Arnie makes the point that an election year is coming up and states:

We Montanans need to ask hard questions to those who aspire to serve our state and carry out its constitutional charge of providing for the heath and well being of all Montanans.

What exactly will you do to create not just more jobs but better jobs?

How will you keep our best and brightest from leaving our state?

When will we launch our ultra high-speed digital communications network?

How much new money will you commit to education, kindergarten through college?

What tax incentives will you provide to businesses so they can train or retrain their workers?

How much new investment capital will you make available to Montana businesses to help them grow and compete?

Something to think about. The future for us and our children.

Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured. Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
