    Tester looked visibly upset when responding to Khoeler.

    @Mike,
    I agree, he seems more inclined to attack the messenger than address the bill’s problems.

    Tester’s assertion that he had never heard from Koehler and other green groups opposed to the bill was laughable.

    The more I see about this bill, the less I like it. I would urge everyone to read through the bill. Don’t just support it because it has Tester’s name or Dem sponsors.

    I noticed that too. Rather than talking about the bill, Tester focused on what appeared to be a personal attack.
