Following the tragedy, Montana's Gov. Brian Schweitzer says, Noone should be afraid to travel to Montana, Our roads are safe our airports are safe.....It's obvious all he thinks about is $$, tourism, etc.
I couldn't believe this statement came out of his mouth. I'm shocked. How about a statement of sympathy for those killed and their families Brian? You make all Montanan's look like uncaring jerks.
