Thanks to the WPIC for sending this letter in support of important legislation from both of our Senators. It is time to pass the MT Water Rights Protection Act #mtpol

Let's just stick to the facts - this landmark legislation will #FundLWCF permanently and fully. It also puts millions of $ into restoring and conserving critical fish habitat on public lands. Big win for fish, access and conservation - now on to the House. #mtpol #publiclands
BREAKING NEWS!! For the first time ever, the Senate has voted to fully and permanently #FundLWCF! The Great American Outdoors Act just passed with overwhelming bipartisan support!!

Today’s the day for the first big vote in the Senate for the #GAOA to #FundLWCF ... time to get this done for #publicaccess and Montana’s coldwater fisheries. Thanks to @SenatorTester and @SteveDaines for leading. #mtpol #mtnews
This week, the U.S. Senate will consider the #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct, which, if passed, would include full funding for the #LWCF and funding to address the maintenance backlog on #publiclands. Take action today! bit.ly/30hDMQV
