I want to repeat, thank you, thank you to the folks who testified today.
$35 million is more than Montana has ever been asked to contribute before.
It is important that as communities, we work together to solve our problems rather than fighting with one another.
Assuming we get this bill through sooner rather than later, do you have a plan to educate folks on what this bill does?
Montana has the same position as the Blackfeet Tribe, which is that we do support Pondera's request.
Thank you very much. Appreciate both your testimonies.
Where is the Governor in support of this bill?
I believe we all want to resolve our water rights issues in an expeditious manner.
They did such a good job that the State legislature ratified this compact in 2009, when they last met.
Thank you for your leadership on a number of things, including this.
It has been the policy in Montana and the United States to negotiate rather than litigate water rights.
