Session with the Governor

by Jordan Minnick
Governor Brian Schweitzer entered the joint session to immense gratitude from the crowd, and respectively so. After the geography crash course, the Governor delved into the energy crisis, expressing it as “the greatest single challenge mankind has ever faced.” He also stated that the crisis was too large for any other country but the United States to fully take on, explaining that we’re a supreme example for the world.
Another great point that was made was Schweitzer’s take on politicians and change. “Here’s a little secret for you guys: politicians don’t change the world, politicians talk about changing the world.” He went on to state that innovative minds are those who really change the world.
The speech was mild in terms of any radical political agendas, appealing to both sides of the political spectrum. While the Governor’s words instilled hope, let us not forget, “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”
