That’s when we’ll know if we get it done this year. If Wyoming and West Virginia adjourn without passing our Reso, the campaign will extend into 2016. If Montana were to adjourn on or about May 1st, and we don’t get a bill, we could potentially be looking at going into 2017. Ouch.
I’m hoping for 34 this year, but planning on 2016. It’s prudent. We’ve definitely got Big Mo, but I wonder if we’ve got enough. My theory has always been that when we get to the low 30’s, people will take us seriously, and start thinking about the political impact. When the big money boys finally figure out that a successful Article BBA campaign would seriously tilt the political playing field of 2016 in the Republicans’ favor, they give us a blank check and we get it done. But we don’t get to the low 30’s until it’s too late in 2015, so we win in 2016.
If we had a couple hundred grand to run a media campaign in Montana, I think it would guarantee a win in our most important target of 2015. To these guys, $200,000 is chump change.
When Bill Fruth talked to Kasich’s chief of staff a few weeks ago it was immediately apparent that we in the Task Force have a much better handle on the situation than they do. Hopefully, as we work with them in the weeks ahead, they’ll get up to speed.
The more they learn, the better they’ll like it.
