Montana Morning Roundup
As water continues to rise in New Orleans (and the Red Cross continues to need your help), life in Montana seems a bit mundane by comparison. The Billings Gazette is reporting this morning that the Public Service Commission has approved a rate hike on natural gas rates so students are facing tuition surcharges to cover the cost according to the Montana Kaimin.
Voters in Gallatin County rejected a a new county jail, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle is reporting. The Great Falls Tribune tells us that Tom Siebel, a philanthropist, is funding a $5.6 million campaign to fight meth use. His action comes after the passage of a comprehensive anti-meth legislative package at the legislature this year.
Finally, Swing State Project is reporting that campaigns across the country are following Jon’s lead and calling for support of the Red Cross. Both the Democratic and Republican parties nationally have now put out the call to their supporters to help our neighbors in Louisiana and Mississippi.
