What's Going On In Billings?

I thought it would be interesting to see what the Billings Gazette had to say about the RUS funding turndown to SME. Not a word. At least not that I could find. I searched "Tim Gregori", "SME" and "Southern Montana Electric". Nothing about the current funding setback.

I also checked SME's site and they still insist the long term financing is coming from RUS.

Looks like SME is keeping those co-ops in the dark.
