Governor Schweitzer orders agencies to pony up $75K for intern fo promote math and science initiative

Eight state agencies were asked to pitch in a total of nearly $75,000 annually for two years to hire an intern for an unadvertised job to help Gov. Brian Schweitzer and First Lady Nancy Schweitzer with their math and science initiative.
