And right now, wet toilet paper offers more consumer protection than the present PSC chaired by Ken Toole, a progressive liberal democrat with a political philosophy in lockstep with Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and the puppet master, George Soros, himself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/montana-outline-thumbup.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/montana-outline-thumbup.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"montana-outline-thumbup\" width=\"200\" height=\"122\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1230\" \/><\/a>But there is exciting news on the horizon!!!  Bill Gallagher, a local Helena attorney with roots in Dillon, Plains, and Polson, has officially thrown his hat in the ring for the District 5 seat on the Montana PSC.  His announcement today attracted a rather substantial crowd at Jorgenson&#8217;s Restaurant where the consensus was that Bill is the real deal and will very capably serve the energy consumers of Montana as a strong Reagan conservative. <\/p>\n<p>In his &#8220;fiery&#8221; announcement speech, Gallagher pointed out that decisions made by the PSC in the next few years will have huge impacts on all Montana families.  He noted that he is not a career politician and the PSC is not a &#8220;sexy&#8221;  office, but he can &#8220;stand up to those who would take our money and deprive us of our rights and liberty and stifle our economy under the guise of globalism, environmentalism, and socialism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/header2c2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/2helenahandbaskets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/header2c2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"header2c\" width=\"110\" height=\"93\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1235\" \/><\/a>You can read more about Bill and his views on the issues central to the PSC on his website:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallagher4psc.com\/\"> http:\/\/www.gallagher4psc.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if you decide that this is the kind of guy you want in your corner, go ahead and get involved in his campaign.
