While the state is forecast to have an extra $300 million this year and next, don't call it a surplus, Gov. Brian Schweitzer said Tuesday.
"We owe more bills than we have money," he said in an interview. "That's hardly a surplus. Only Enron accounting would call that a surplus."
Nonetheless, Schweitzer said he'll recommend one-time uses for at least some of the money.
Schweitzer said his top priorities are bolstering public-employee pension funds and school funding, and having money left over for emergencies, such as forest fires.
Use one time monies to "bolster school funding."
EXCUSE ME!!!!!
School funding requires money every year.
THINK Schweitzer, THINK. this isn't going to work.
