Whitetail Port:

On Friday work was temporarily halted at the Whitetail Port in Montana. Senator Jon Tester hit the media wires with a press release about the temporary work stoppage.

At the end of his press release which I checked again this morning, Tester was quoted saying:

I’m looking forward to continuing to work with folks in Phillips County, Commissioner Bersin and the Canadian government to make sure this gets done right.

Sad. Tester does not even know the county in which the Port of Whitetail is located. The Port of Whitetail is in Daniels County, senator. Heck, Phillips and Daniels County are separated by Valley County. (UPDATE 08/09/10 @ 11:05: The Senator changed his press release to reflect the correct county.  I knew my map would help!)

Maybe if Tester would get out and about meeting Montanans he might know his Montana geography a little better. But here at The Western Word, we’re here to help. Here’s a map to help you and your staff.
