Montana Legislator wishes to Join Utah land grab, Resolution.

It was just 4 years ago a timber company sold 125,000 acres to a billionaire Texas family. Right in his backyard, he can see the money!

Southern Pines Plantation is more real estate, less timber manufacturing.

All the more reason perpetual conservation easements are vital.

Dear Tom, dont Utard my Montana.

Probably see ya in Helena soon - sportsmen from all over will be there to oppose this - which is a real shame since they all have more important things to do. It wont be too long before this legislative performative masturbation costs Polticians what they value most - re-election.

I’ve said it before but show me who to vote for that is 100% only about the wildlife. Until we can get it separated so that it’s not treated as a commodity and actually treated like a resource the elections won’t matter in this aspect

Good point.

We should ask those questions in primaries, and participate in local party events. Maybe they'll run me out - but i'd generally speaking like to vote for R and not get garbagio like this.

Edit - also want to point out that no one will be 100% about wildlife in the way i want. Look how much we all disagree here... wildlifes pretty nuanced in a lot of ways.

The threads about public land, and my garbage comment is more about that than wildife. Theres plenty of disagreement on public land policy/practice and best management too. But this is an attempt to sell it off - or at best selfishly enrich the state of Montana at the detriment to every other citizen.
