Likes Gallagher

The purpose of the Montana Public Service Commission is to serve the public interest. So when it came to my attention that PSC candidate Bill Gallagher may not be forthcoming about his ownership and financial interests in a water utility, I was concerned.

We need more politicians who run because they want to be in public service, not to help their own business interests. Montanans needs a PSC commissioner who protects ratepayers, not someone who puts ratepayers at risk for their own financial gain.

In my mind, Gallagher's ownership of a water utility would make it highly unlikely for him to be impartial when it comes to decision making. I plan on voting for someone that I can trust will make unbiased decisions on the PSC, and that person is Ken Toole, a proven advocate for Montana consumers.
