About a month ago Montana’s governor bully-in-chief made a news splash when he accused the legislators of being the “biggest boozers” in the state. Many of these fine individuals were justifiably insulted, especially considering the well-deserved reputation BS has cultivated for indulging in a nip or two whenever the spirits move him.

Well now that the session is in full throttle, it seems that the gov’s words may have some unintended consequences. Local hospitality establishments are already noting a significant decline in revenues from previous years.

Economics 101: Lower revenues for Montana businesses = lower taxes to the state.

Seems the administration’s rosy budget numbers may be in more jeopardy than previously thought.

Wanna drink to that, Governor?
