The last paragraph of the news story pretty much sums up the way the railroad taxation bill will go. It will not pass the legislature just like it did not in N. Dakota. <br /> <br />The legal entanglements could last for years. <br /> <br />BNSF needs to take a look at the ethical and unfair business practices for charging high prices to grain shippers. There is very little competition in Montana but having a monopoly on shipping grain is no excuse to charge overtly high prices. It is difficult to apply the market economy in Montana when there is hardly any competition. <br /> <br />This is a good example of a business not being a good community member and is detrimental to BNSF. It is poor public relations on the part of BNSF to stand by their high rates. This type of issue needs to go directly to the CEO of BNSF and its board of directors. <br />
