MO Gov. Blunt Stands Firm For Missourians

Bucking tremendous pressure, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt stands firm in resisting the Midwest Governor's Association energy pact - the only one in the region to do so.

After reviewing the pact, Blunt said he would sign only a handful of the minor points, refusing to join up with all of the major components. Some, he said, would have to be addressed on the national level; some others would hurt Missouri consumers.

The Sierra Club and other environmentalist wackos are, naturally, very unhappy with Blunt's decision, but as a Missouri resident I applaud him and plan to call his office (
573-751-3222) to thank him for actually looking out for my best interests. After all, isn't that what Governors are supposed to do?

There's my two cents.
