Gov. Bill Richardson on Friday’s “Montana Talks”

He's been a prominent governor, a central figure in international relations, and a member of President Bill Clinton's cabinet. Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D-MT) will join us on Friday's "Montana Talks" with Aaron Flint.

Gov. Richardson is headlining a conference in Billings focused on the future of coal put together by the Burton K. Wheeler Center.

Here is Gov. Richardson's bio posted by the Burton K. Wheeler Center:
