Restoring faith?

December 13, 2011 by Editor

 

Dear Editor,

Whoa! Fred Thomas running for Senate again? Grab your wallets! Has everybody forgotten what transpired last time he was in the Senate as Majority Leader? Everytime you pay your power bill we should all be reminded of the fine work he did with the deregulation of electricity and gas, before he made that 12 hour deal my rates were about $20.00 average for both electric and gas for the summer months. Since Fred’s fine work representing Montanans I pay on average for services in the summer of $95.00 a month. There is no restoring faith for me, when it comes to voting for you. I think you have already done enough, Fred, for me. Thanks but no thanks in supporting somebody that has done nothing but cost Montanans a huge amount of money. I don’t know about you but I will not support anybody that doesn’t fight for the common good of all Montanans, not just corporations.

So, just remember next time you’re writing that check or paying your bill on line for gas and electric service, thank Fred.

So where was his concern about the course Montana was on then? Once a dishonest salesman, always a dishonest salesman. Thanks, Fred, for what you’ve done!
