Trending: Stream Access & Gubernatorial Race

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You can’t really call attacks on our Stream Access Law here in Montana “Trending” because the attack is constant. If you live in Montana and follow the news or social media, you may be aware that Republican Gubernatorial hopeful Greg Gianoforte has been in the news lately, with many questioning his credibility and stance on Montana Stream Access. This week we posted this opinion piece by Ben Long at High Country News on our Facebook page and it received an abnormal amount of likes and a huge number of shares (for a news item). It’s a short read that speaks to the current threats to access in Montana.[/vc_column_text][us_btn align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hcn.org%2Farticles%2Fnote-to-politicians-dont-mess-with-fishing-access-in-montana||target:%20_blank” style=”4″ label=”NOTE TO POLITICIANS: DON’T MESS WITH FISHING ACCESS IN MONTANA” custom_width=”200px” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-size%22%3A%2218px%22%7D%7D”][us_separator show_line=”1″ line_width=”default”][vc_column_text]
