Chuck Johnson has a good article in today's Lee newspapers regarding card check. He does his best to pin our federal delegation down on this hot button issue. So far only Denny Rehberg has given a clear answer, and that answer is a good one for Montana's small businesses.
Senators Baucus and Tester still aren't too sure about the bill. In the past, the two co-sponsored this bill. Now, since it looks like it actually has legs, many former supporters are backing away from some of the ideas. My guess is that they're in "wait-and-see" mode as some in Washington, D.C. try to come up with some compromise.
If you haven't contacted Baucus and Tester yet to tell them to oppose card check, please send them an email today.
Tester and Baucus have been cynically manipulating the Labor vote. Now that they are in charge they are confronted with a problem. They don't like the bill, but will vote for it if enough of their colleagues give them cover. If it's close, they will probably vote against it.
Cynical on my part? Maybe, but that doesn't mean it's not true.
