Most folks may remember the push on Montana’s hi-line to make U.S. Highway 2 a four-lane road across Montana.

Most politicians, like Max Baucus and Jon Tester, wanted to win the hi-line vote, so they would say publicly that they supported 4 for 2, and that they would work to get it funded.

It does not appear they worked as hard as North Dakota’s Senators.

With Max Baucus being called the sixth most powerful senator, and with his campaign site hailing him as the “Senior Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, where he is Chairman of the panel that has jurisdiction over Highway Funding” it must be a punch in the gut for his supporters, especially those along the hi-line, to read that North Dakota’s two Democratic senators delivered on their promise of turning U.S. Highway 2 across North Dakota into four lanes. Meanwhile, Montana waits.

Congratulations to the residents along U.S. Highway 2…in North Dakota.
