From Helenair.com:
Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer and top incoming Republican legislative leaders pledged to work with each other during the 2011 session and fully consider each other’s proposals.
Schweitzer invited incoming Senate President Jim Peterson, R-Buffalo, and House Speaker Mike Milburn, R-Cascade, to meet with him, and they took him up on it. Republicans will have a 68-32 majority over Democrats in the House and a 28-22 margin in the Senate.
The meeting was friendly, with each side making its points. All three men are farmer-ranchers and Montana State University graduates so they basked a little in the Bobcats’ football victory over the University of Montana Saturday before getting down to business.
