HELENA As promised, Gov. Brian Schweitzer on Wednesday fired up his infamous 'VETO' branding irons on the front steps of the Capitol and put the 'hot iron' to seven GOP-backed bills.

In one of the most spectacular productions of political theater in the Democrat's six years in office, Governor Schweitzer applied red-hot branding irons to wooden plaques representing bills ranging from a measure to repeal the Montana Medical Marijuana Act to a bill that would eliminate same-day voter registration, to one that would allow new open-pit gold and silver mines to ship materials to sites using the cyanide leaching process.
