We had a conference call on Wyoming last Friday, had one on Montana today. Later in the week we’re doing Idaho, Washington, North Dakota and Utah. Daniel Markels of NFIB set them up.
Montana’s the big one. If we come up short in North Dakota or Wyoming, in the spring of 2016 we can ask the Republican presidential frontrunners to contact the Governors of North Dakota or Wyoming to call a special session to take up the BBA. This would only happen, of course, if we’re close. If we’re not close it may not matter.
Won’t happen in Montana, with a D governor. So Montana is priority #1. Everybody’s got limited time, and a tendency to spread themselves a little thin. Not in Montana. If I have to camp out in Helena for ten days, and buttonhole legislators, I’ll have to do it. I won’t do it in Wyoming, or anywhere else.
It’s Montana or bust.
