It is really dry in northern Montana, but it is a lot drier in Arizona. So I know you understand the importance of water very, very well.
How important is it to finalize this last remaining water settlement in the State of Montana and have a bill that could be implemented at the State, Federal, and local level?
There couldn't be a better answer. You just gave it. Completely solve, it is huge, this is clearly something we can address legislatively.
The bill before us is a compromise for the State, the tribe, the Federal Government, dozens of local areas and groups.
