Montana HB309 -limiting public access to rivers

From TU Flathead Chapter
:
Good Afternoon TU members and friends,

The Montana House of Representatives recently passed HB 309, a bill
that would, if passed through the Montana legislature, limit access to
many Montana rivers for not only those who fish, but also for everyday
Montanans who recreate on these rivers. We have an opportunity to stop
this bill!

Next Thursday, March 3rd Montana TU will RALLY to oppose HB 309 at
2:00 p.m. at the Old Supreme Court Chambers in Helena’s State Capitol
building. This bill describes many stream channels throughout the
state as “ditches,” essentially privatizing many of the waters that
are now public. The Montana House passed the bill, and the Senate
Agriculture Committee is scheduled to hear public comments at 3:00
Thurs., March 3rd. We need a BIG TURNOUT, so please spread the word,
join us at the Capitol next Thursday, and bring a friend! Watch for an
Action Alert from Montana TU within the next 24 hours…

If you can't make it, please contact as many Senators as possible
before the committee meets next week.


Again, HB-309 is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate, Agriculture,
Livestock and Irrigation committee next Thursday March 3. These guys
need to hear from us if we want to continue to have access to fishing
streams in Montana. The legislature’s online message form makes it
simple to send a message to a legislator or to a committee. Please use
it!



Thanks for supporting continued public access to Montana's many rivers
and streams!
