Teddy Roosevelt would be proud. That’s the mood Western governors want at their annual meeting this June in Medora, in North Dakota’s Badlands, where Roosevelt hunted, ranched and fell in love with the West. Representing 18 Western states, the governors will meet June 22-24 to discuss the theme, Common Interests: Commanding Our Own Destiny. The agenda includes a session on response and readiness for natural disasters, such as the floods that have hit parts of North Dakota, as well as how to combine rural economic interests with stewardship of natural resources. For more information call the Western Governors’ Association in Denver at 303/623-9378.
