Energy policies
In an interview with the Missoulian last week, State Representative Pat Ingraham let slip that she wants us to pay higher energy bills. She stated that she supports further deregulation of energy companies. The lessons of the past are clearly lost on Mrs. Ingraham — when the state legislature deregulated energy in the late 1990s, Montana went from having some of the cheapest energy to having some of the most expensive. Further deregulation of these big companies will only result in higher prices.

Keeping in touch
In preparation for the upcoming legislative session, I have recently attended two meetings regarding health care challenges and the impacts the New Health Care Reform Laws are having on Montana. While the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA) – commonly known as Obamacare - are undergoing legal challenges as to its constitutionality as well as individual states’ efforts to opt out of the federal legislation, such as The Freedom of Choice Act Constitutional amendment, these legal challenges and states actions have not deterred the implementation of some of the legislated changes which are, at the least, introducing new challenges for medical and insurance providers.
