Steven Daines actually said...

"In Montana we do see the moratorium on coal leasing as a direct assault on our state."

"I appreciate it. And just for perspective, Montana is a state, and we are not as big as Texas and Alaska, but you can put Chicago in one corner of our state and Washington, D.C., in the other."

"Statement of Senator Daines."

"I know somebody who takes the responsibility very seriously to manage the taxpayer dollars and be a steward of such."
