Everyone has heard the story about the three little pigs and the wolf that huffs and puffs his way through a house made of straw and a house made of wood. Montanans face a similar situation with the status of the Rocky Mountain gray wolf as an endangered species. The science says that the gray wolf is no longer endangered in Montana and Idaho. The targets set by the Endangered Species Act were surpassed years ago. But powerful out-of-State interests have huffed and puffed and used all sorts of dirty tricks and gotten the gray wolf relisted for the second time over the recommendation of the Obama and Bush administrations. In the story, the three little pigs find shelter in a house made of stone. If that's what it takes, a legislative solution, that's what we'll do. I've heard from more than 1,000 people in the last few days who've weighed in on a legislative solution, and it's time to start building that stone house.
