Junket (vacation), an excursion for the purpose of pleasure at public expense!!!
Why would I use the word Junket unless Brian Schweitzer took a nice trip at tax payers expense. Well not yet that I could find but maybe later, today I want to share with you the nice planned Junket for Nancy Schweitzer.
Just by dumb luck I found that the state tax payers paid for First Lady Nancy Schweitzer to take a trip to Calgary, Alberta for a wedding on the state aircraft (denoted on the Governors travel log as “SA”). My question is.. did the Governor plan the trip around Nancy attending the Bowness/Thompson wedding? How convenient. Brian’s trip to Calgary just happened to be on the 23rd of June 2005 and returning on the 26th of June 2005, wow what a coincidence that his travel dates are the exact time that Nancy was in Calgary for the wedding!
Then I’m not quite sure, did the Governor bully the dirty big oil company Shell Canada to pay for some rooms for the Governors flight crew?
It sure looks like the Governor knows how to tell Joe Montana 6 pack what he wants to hear about the big bad oil companies then goes ahead and gets a nice Junket for him and his wife?
Come on Governor fess up!!!!!

[...] Since former Representative and Forward Montana employee Kevin Fury is married to Brian Schweitzer’s press secretary, Sara Elliott, we need to have all the phone records and emails opened up for the last four years…it just seems like the ties run pretty deep. Governor Brian Schweitzer promised open government and delivered nothing except hiring several sitting Legislators (Kevin Furey, Eve Franklin, Sam Kitzenberg and Mike Cooney as well as many others) for cushy government jobs, committing electioneering-voter fraud and intimidating legislators and others to get his way. Keep your promise and OPEN GOVERNMENT NOW and quite taking government Junkets!!!! [...]
