You need to remember this is the same Governor who just misappropriated funds from a fund set up to clean up mining waste on the Clark Fork river, to buy the Dog Creek ranch ( which has never been mined and is 2 miles away from the Clark Fork River ) from his friend so his friend could make an 8 million dollar profit from the sale. Thus paying twice what the property was worth so his friend could make money.
Yea, I know.
The good-ol’-boy network looms large in the Rocky Mountain States, and invariably their corruption is about land and water deals.
