That was one message we got from the Democratic Governors Association Media Roundtable where we heard from Gov. Joe Manchin (WV), Gov. Brian Schweitzer (MT) and Gov. Martin O'Malley (MD) . The water issues going on in the West make our little skirmish with Florida and Alabama look like child's play. In a time where "going green" has become a necessity, it was good to hear from Gov. Schweitzer some specifics of Senator Obama's plan was water restoration in the West. Lauren Logan Benedict... Read Full Story
From Ryan Singel : Montana governor Brian Schweitzer (D) declared independence Friday from federal identification rules and called on governors of 17 other states to join him in forcing a showdown with the federal government which says it will not accept the driver's licenses of rebel states' citizens starting May 11.
