The American Spectator : Governors (Two) Bark Back

Well, they didn't take that very well.

The chairman (Democrat Gov. of Montana Brian Schweitzer) and vice chairman (Republican Gov. of Idaho Butch Otter) of the Western Governors Association responded sharply (PDF) to a National Taxpayers Union inquiry about WGA's management and funding of the Western Climate Initiative, which the rest of the WGA board members -- the governors of the other 17 Western states -- either unknowingly or are too embarrassed to acknowledge they support.

In a piece today [above] about the Western Governors Association’s management of the Western Climate Initiative, I explain how there is a lack of enthusiasm from many of WGA’s members for WCI. I cited the criticism of cap-and-trade by two of the governors — Sarah Palin of Alaska and Rick Perry of Texas, both Republicans — as examples where they oppose the type of policy in WCI that they support via WGA.

It is an important matter globally and a possibly even more important matter for African Americans.
